  9. Domestic life and commercial contracts don't mix well.

    Lease contracts here in Perth heavily favour the property owner, and frequently see their agents using the power imbalance to oppress and harass renters.
    But #RogerCook's government is OK with that.
    I did a #CELTA - 8 wk pressure cooker course - prepaid. Get sick? You get no refund on thousand$$.

    But somewhere I think there is a line. And I think "No refunds", if in the contract, was OK

  10. Perhaps property is where an end to the corporate and people divide can be agreed on? The relation of investors to people has become so extreme; accelerating inequality and injustice that a cap on fascist growth must be called for before violent revolutions and or civil wars takes place! #CorporateProperty #PrivateProperty #Lettings #Renters #FairDeal #JusticeForEpsteinVictims #Revolutions #CivilWars npr.org/2026/01/20/nx-s1-56752

  17. From @greaterfool.ca "The #tax system needs a reset. What #homeowners get, #renters should also enjoy. If the [principal residence] exemption cannot be eliminated it should be capped, and #tenants given an equal chance to avoid having #capitalgains on other kinds of assets. Make owning less attractive. Make renting more beneficial. Then [overblown #housing] values will adjust."

  18. #VOTE #GeneralElection2024 #change

    A quarter of sitting TDs are #landlords, more than half are #PropertyOwners. #Policy on #housing fails #renters, and enriches landlords.

    Don't follow the US. "Never before have so few multibillionaires had so much wealth and so much economic and political power. These are not nice guys. They may come off as nice guys. They may make contributions to the local hospital or Boys & Girls club. But they are very, very, greedy people."

  19. For #Solar Friends in the US & UK and elsewhere:

    In a significant move towards sustainable living, #renters and #condominium owners across #Germany now have the legal right to install #solarpanels on their balconies.

    The new regulation changes the Rental Contract Law (BGB § 554) and the law governing Condominums (§ 20 WEG)- , which officially takes effect today!

  20. Growing inequality and a rising number of renters are expected to push the government towards introducing wealth taxes in the coming years, says a demographics expert. Key drivers include the massive intergenerational wealth transfer, wealth concentration, and decreasing home ownership rates, all of which are likely to shape future tax reforms.

  21. *Related to my post from yesterday.

    #BCNDP's #HousingHub program is coming under #scrutiny after one #TaxpayerSubsidized #RentalBuilding in #Vancouver's #Kitsilano neighbourhood, touted as "affordable", is now listing units for $2,600 per month for a studio & $4,200 per month for a 2 bedroom unit.

    The listed #RentalPrices are well above provincial #AffordableHousing thresholds & one #housing #researcher says it's an example of how difficult it is to build #AffordableRental buildings when market prices are so far beyond what average #renters can afford.

    The leader of the #BCGreenParty called it an "infuriating" #misuse of #TaxpayerDollars.

    The #BCNDPgovernment provided a $31.8 million #LowInterestLoan to Vancouver developer #JamesonDevelopmentCorp. for the 68-unit rental building through the HousingHub program, which is aimed at providing housing to middle-income renters shut out of the real estate market.

    #BCPremier #DavidEby, who was the minister -responsible for housing at the time, was quoted in a December 2021 government news release announcing the project.

    "Our government is investing in more affordable housing for people who work and live in Vancouver, and throughout B.C." he said.

    The building at 1807 Larch St., called the L2, is set to be complete next month & is now advertising units.

    According to the building's website, a 400-square foot studio apartment starts at $2,599 a month & a 840-square foot two-bedroom, two-bath unit is listed for $4,299 a month.
