Absolutely, but again Australia are weirdos in this regard. Our rental leases are 12 months as standard. In Europe it's common to have longer leases, like 10-15 years. Plus we have hardly any public housing (a quick google tells me 2.5% of all dwellings in Victoria) versus anywhere from 3-34% for Europe (depending on which country you're looking at). Conditions for renters would be so much better with these issues addressed.
