Might also have something to do with tenants having so many rights that they just don't have many of the disadvantages they'd have in other countries.
Here in sweden at least, even a second hand renting contract is not that much worse than owning your home. And if you have a first hand contract with a municipal landlord i would argue it's the best form of housing you can have, in large part because you just don't have to do anything other than pay the oftentimes quite low rent. No need to perform maintenance and stuff.
