We could also do with more rights for tenants. Last time I rented, the landlord would only sign 6 months leases, so you always had the risk of being booted out at a few months notice. Which we were (while in the process of buying something actually). Tense times they were.
Oh, and not being able to do any decorating sucks big time as well.
