Landlords would not be able to increase the rent more than once every two years and those increases would be capped at 1 per cent per year.
"Without rent caps,the right to remain becomes meaningless and landlords can simply jack up the rent to evict tenants by proxy,"Mr Berkman said.
Mr Berkman said if landlords objected to improving renters'rights on the basis it would be less profitable,they should not be a landlord.
"If you can't manage your rental property without respecting your tenants'basic human rights to stable,secure housing,you shouldn't be a landlord in the first place,"he said.
"Sell the property and let a young,first homebuyer have it instead."
Last month,the Queensland government announcedconsultation with renters,landlords and real estate agents ahead of reforms to residential tenancy laws.

At the time,Housing Minister Mick de Brenni said he wanted to find out how to better enforce people's rights.
"Many tenants have raised with me that it is difficult to hang your kids'school photos or paintings on the wall in rental properties,"he said.
"Property owners have raised with me that they want to see regular inspections to properties and for repairs to be addressed more quickly to ensure their investments are protected."
As of this week,more than 29,000 Queenslanders had responded to the state government's rental reform survey.
The last full-scale review of tenancy regulations was in the 1970s.
Mr Berkman welcomed the government's consultation.
"Housing is a basic human right and all levels of government have a responsibility to ensure everyone has access to safe and secure housing,"he said.
"But in Queensland in recent decades,the provision of this basic human right has increasingly been outsourced to the private sector."
A plan to allow renters access tounlimited,rent-controlled leases and stay put even if their property was sold,was among the Greens'commitments leading up to last year's Queensland state election.
Labor has a majority in the Parliament,however,it is understood Mr Berkman has not ruled out introducing a private member's bill or amendments to a government bill.
About 34 per cent of Queensland households are rentals.
