But the Greens said if the federal government wants the fund,it should get states and territories to agree to freeze rents for two years,and then cap rent increases.
On Thursday,Greens leader Adam Bandt pointed out the ACT Labor-Greens government had capped rental increases,and said the federal government must work through national cabinet to get other jurisdictions to do the same.
The federal government has previously announced it was beginning work to get state and territory tenancy laws more aligned,and it just so happens that the ACT has the most tenancy-friendly laws in the country after introducing the right to keep pets,make minor adjustments,and limit rent increases to inflation plus 10 per cent in 2019.
According to experts,renters and landlords,those laws have not led to the sky falling in,but it has had some unintended consequences.
