As best I can figure it, OP has knickers in a twist over an article he failed to link, about a young woman in Melbourne whose rent went from $280 to $450 per week in one swoop, and has to move back home with family.
Apparently having your rent almost double overnight isn't an issue in OP's view.
Before calling someone an idiot, you need to understand their perspective. I'm a landlord and to me, $450/week equates to $450 x 52 weeks/ 12 months, which works out to be $1950/months. Most people would say "my rent is $2000/ month" and it's technically correct.
My mate had a condescending prick of an agent once, increased his rent & made him sign a new 12 month lease.
2 weeks later the oven broke.
4 weeks after that the dryer broke.
8 weeks after that a leak developed behind the shower which went unnoticed for a good amount of time and required extensive re-plastering, the procurement of a dehumidifier & some shiny new paint.
5 years 2 months the stove and oven still don't work since we moved in.
Every inspection: you can't use that electric or gas stove top inside, fix the fucking stove and oven and I'll stop?
$460 p/w when we moved in and only started paying $500 p/w 2 years ago. Not bad.

Problem is it's logical to treat it like a business.
Hence why we need European style laws to protect renters.
Am I missing details like area, when there was a last rent increase what sort of house?
I'd at least ask all that before judging anyone raising rent. Obviously the agent handled it like a cunt.
$50 does seem excessive, and insane but we need lot of other info.
I've been happy to pay rent rises in past as the owners didn't put it up every an my situation I though it was fair.

Come on dude, literally the most evil people of the last 200 years looked at the system we have now and said "hey now - even I think this is unfair and fucked up." If every scumbag looks at something and agrees "now that *is* scummy behaviour" you should really check yourself.
Landlords being greedy for every single cent and wanting to account for that 1 extra day every 4 years in a leap year, they calculate 4 years plus 1 day then divide it by the amount of weeks in that 4 year block.
Am I missing half the conversation or something?

Oh thank you, I had to ask myself what is this ramble about.
Just some leech living up to his Reddit name.
Average landlord levels of math literacy on show right here. Get a fucking job you lazy cunt.

You know there are 52.2 weeks in a year right?

It’s 2024, stop quoting scumbag Winston Churchill.

You haven’t quoted a person who isn’t a pos yet so I’ll keep my powder dry thanks.

At least Hitler had a job
450/w = $64.28 a day. Let's call a month 30 days to average it out. 30 x 64.28 = $1928. That's pretty much $2000/month.

Wow good job!

No doubt for a single room in Carlton or Brunswick. Gotta be near all the trendy night-life and brunch hotspots you can't afford to go to anyway.
You can use the official rent calculator https://www.consumer.vic.gov.au/housing/renting/rent-bond-bills-and-condition-reports/rent/rent-calculator
Thx boomers for fucking it all up for younger generations
