Here in Denmark laws are pretty good, and protect renters. We also have a system that I can best translate as "housing to benefit the communality", that is a semi public system to provide cheap housing for ordinary people (originally workers).
That might explain why we have a relatively low degree of home owners.
On the other hand, AFAIK Sweden did a lot more than we did in the 70's and 80's to provide cheap rental housing. Yet they have more home owners?
As it should be!
