    I never understand this approach of just asking people what they reckon is ok. For example:

    1. What are the issues faced by renters when moving into a strata scheme? Would better disclosure about the strata rules for moving in help with this?

    I dunno. Would it? Why are they asking me? Find somewhere where the rules are clearer, then find somewhere where they are unclear, then tell us the findings. Ask interstate and even internationally.

    There is a bit of comparison done with SA, VIC and NT in the linked consultation paper. Places with more renters such as Europe would be interesting too.

        Yeah I think they should be. But we don’t actually know whether that helps per se.

        Think about it this way: adding even more fine print may not actually lead to easier moves for tenants and existing residents. Instead moving-in rules could be determined by state or federal government, and available at, for example, https://www.nsw.gov.au/housing-and-construction/renting-a-place-to-live/renting-a-property-nsw. I don’t know. Maybe it doesn’t even make a difference at all. These are all things we can discover by research, not by just asking people what they kinda reckon.
