It might also have been an oversight in the original legislation that led to the 2000 laws overreaching, but judges simply applying the Golden Rule to interpret the legislation as a lesser standard, while they waited for legislators to pull their pants up, which in this case took just a smidge over two decades. So a pretty quick turn around if you concenttrate only on the ‘two’ in that last sentence.
Heck up until recently you couldn’t even change a blown out light bulb in a rental in certain states.
Tenant rights in Australia leave much to be desired and it’s becoming an increasingly bigger issue with the housing crises trapping people in rentals where they have very few rights.
