I'm referring to property taxes akin to the US/Canada/Japan.
Anything that makes it more difficult/expensive to provide rental accommodation. Among other measures were a mandatory insulation requirement, an over arching "healthy homes" annual inspection, upgraded fire alarms, hefty increases in rates (local property taxes), laws making it more difficult, expensive and time consuming to recover damages from tenants who trash the property, restrictions on tax deductibility of interest expense, a de facto capital gains tax etc etc etc.
