Qld’s scrapped land tax carnage: ‘Every renter should be fuming’
New research has found that Queensland’s failed land tax reform caused “serious, long-term damage to the state’s stock of rental properties”. Here’s why.
A survey of over 3700 property investors by the Real Estate Institute of Queensland (REIQ) recently revealed that more than 80 per cent were considering bailing on the Sunshine State due to recent and proposed tenancy law changes.
When asked for their primary reason for considering selling, many pointed to ongoing rental reforms, bad tenants, increasing holding costs and the stigma that all landlords were “greedy, wealthy people” as among some of their key gripes.
OPs note: Did QLD really just figure out the solution to the housing crisis? lol
and the stigma that all landlords were “greedy, wealthy people”
Maybe if they would stop being greedy people that hoard basic necessities, they wouldn't have to deal with the justified stigma of being such POSs.
That line really stood out to me. I can't believe the complete lack of awareness some of these people have.
