You know what else can’t be justified? Exorbitant yearly rates rises, and insurance, wow… our home insurance, our house we lived in 30 years… just went up $800 renewal to $3,200!
I’ve lowered it by $600 by top excess of $1500 and leaving out contents.

Just building insurance. Next renewal will be a worry.
Our council rates are approx $4,500, insurance $2,600.
Wages don’t go up as much as these!

Yes, True.

There's a social theme in Australia among some that renters need not plan for possible future adverse outcomes because 'that's what the government's for'. If that fails, there's always evoking 'moral outrage', via social media, from those looking for a deflection.

Since when does renting come with these extra conditions about things outside a renatal agreement?

They are hiring/ leasing/ renting something from a provider.

They still have to pay for the electricity, & now water usage on top of their rent costs.

With these exhorbitant rent increases & prices I think that power & water charges should be included in the rental price.

For $630 a week that would be a fair expectation.

Otherwise keep the rents at reasonable levels.

Edit: how do renters plan or put aside for future adverse outcomes when the majority of their income goes to paying the rent & after that food & bills ...... they don't have any disposable income to save/put aside?

Obviously you have never really ever done it tough.

What other option is there aside from planning for future adverse outcomes when economic forces like inflation, housing crises, and others are a fact of life in any economy?

To hope that buyers will rent their properties out significantly below their market value and bear the cost of that themselves is not a feasible plan.

The market value is as fickle as the Grand Old Duke of York.

When there's a property value slump they don't reduce rents.

The landlord should be entitled to cover the costs of rates, insurances & maintenance plus a percentage mark up for profit, increased at similar rates to CPI.

A 100% increase is just greedy.

The keyword in your post is 'should' - an appeal to noble social morality.

As a rule, all of us pay overt homage to noble social morality, but covertly grant ourselves personal 'reprieves' from that morality where self-interest is better served by them.

Those 'reprieves' are seldom granted to others where they don't coincide with those we grant to ourselves - hence 'moral outrage', as demonstrated in this thread.

This phenomenon is largely immutable in human nature. To live hoping that it isn't true is naive and self-defeating.

How is it greedy? The rent was always $600 but half was subsidised by GovCo.

While she was paying only $300. The rest of the rent was subsidised by tax payers.
It's really not complicated.

As usual, failure to answer a question directly - mainly because you can't. Your reply is a poor compensation - and you call others 'scabs'. Roll Eyes

Blame the Labor Govts,

I know that in Victoria they are putting a land tax on to all landlords
which is passed on to rent payers along
with the cost of rates etc.

Expect all rents to rise in January.
