Big thank you to Nadia Clancy @alpsa, @SimmsRobert, and @miclensink for hosting the Healthy Homes for Renters briefing with @SACOSS and @UCommunitiesSA this afternoon! Everyone deserves a healthy home!
Read Anglicare's full Rental Affordability Snapshot here: anglicare.asn.au/publications/2… and ABC's summary piece here: abc.net.au/news/2024-04-2…

When the only force that moves landlords is the profit motive, a third of Australian households have to take the long way around to combat climate change. Renters shouldn't be barred from the benefits of solar energy—everyone needs and deserves access! abc.net.au/news/2024-04-2…
Better Renting's Board is looking for a new Treasurer! If you want to support Better Renting's mission & have experience in finance, accounting or auditing, please apply! More information can be found at the link below; applications will close on 12 May. ethicaljobs.com.au/members/better…
Out of 45,000+ listings: • 0 were affordable for a renter on youth allowance • 32 for a renter on DSP • 289 for a renter working min wage full-time This isn't sustainable. Anglicare reports that the govt needs to be building 25K homes/year if they want to ease the crisis.
the radicalising power of a no-grounds eviction
Great news about WA rental reforms: before you get kicked out with a no-grounds eviction or have to move after a crippling rent increase, you can make things a little homey first! abc.net.au/news/2024-04-1…
No one, in any kind of housing, should ever have to live in an insect-infested home. Unison community housing residents spent 4+ years being denied help, and now they have to find new places to live. Housing providers have to hold themselves to higher standards than this.

For those who haven't checked it out yet, our Facebook page is also a great place to connect with us! Join your fellow renters for discussions on news and renting stories, and read about some of our past and ongoing projects—we'll see you there! facebook.com/BetterRentingAU
The ad says that this property has "2 spacious bedrooms with built in robes" and a "large study area". 🤔 admin.ipropertyexpress.com/vt/inspection/…
What can a landlord get away with? Charging $875 a week for a mould- and rat-infested hovel of horrors with no internal doors, apparently. Strong words here from @TUNSW on why that's been allowed to happen—"mum and dad" need to be held accountable. watoday.com.au/property/news/…
When I see a previously empty and unused house is now providing shelter to someone who would otherwise remain homeless
Libertarians: you should be able to do what you want as long as it doesn't harm other people. Government should stay out of the way. Renters: *start living in empty houses* Libertarians: ¡no! ¡not like that!
Radical? Australians have a long and storied history of squatters' protests! Here's some sage advice from Mr. McCormack, one of the leaders of a group which squatted on the Cairns Agricultural Show fairgrounds in 1932 until the government agreed to provide better housing:

hope @MickdeBrenni is losing as much sleep over stories like this (and the many more in @SwelteringCity's Summer Survey and our Cruel Summers report!) as his constituent renters are in these substandard, unbearably hot homes brisbanetimes.com.au/property/news/…
also super weird that @ChrisMinnsMP committed to ending unfair evictions BEFORE the election, and now it's over a year AFTER the election and NSW Labor is yet to make the change 🤔

So weird that landlords keep realising they have irredeemably bad tenants immediately after being asked to do some minor home repair 🙃 theguardian.com/australia-news…

Do you rent or own a rental property? Learn about the minimum standards properties must meet, straight from our Director, Nicole Rich. Listen to the interview with @Warren_Joy949 of @JOY949 on Spotify & Apple Podcasts or at joy.org.au/joydrive/2024/… Also see consumer.vic.gov.au/housing/rentin…
Great work in South Australia today! It's wonderful to see hosts from all sides of politics at this event. Minimum standards is a whole of government issue, and we need to see more of this to make the urgent changes to make rental homes healthy and safe!
Big thank you to Nadia Clancy @alpsa, @SimmsRobert, and @miclensink for hosting the Healthy Homes for Renters briefing with @SACOSS and @UCommunitiesSA this afternoon! Everyone deserves a healthy home!
Genuinely unsure as to what the government expects us to do - they’re sowing the discontent themselves.
Out of 45,000+ listings: • 0 were affordable for a renter on youth allowance • 32 for a renter on DSP • 289 for a renter working min wage full-time This isn't sustainable. Anglicare reports that the govt needs to be building 25K homes/year if they want to ease the crisis.
my partner and i are both on jobseeker and neither of us could afford even a $300 a week rental if they existed anymore ✨

Horrifying, my partner and I will need to move to a new rental towards the end of this year bc of the price and this is terrifying

Why better rights for renters is a critical part of the energy transition, and how citizen science being used to win these rights. Sabrina Clarke from @BetterRentingAU writes on our blog. Check it out here: cooperativepower.org.au/cruel-summers-…
Currently in vic but considering a big move and now I know that act and sa are my two options bc as if I want to move somewhere with no grounds eviction. Get your act together everyone else. (Not that renting is peachy here)
Great news about WA rental reforms: before you get kicked out with a no-grounds eviction or have to move after a crippling rent increase, you can make things a little homey first! abc.net.au/news/2024-04-1…
@BetterRentingAU @TUNSW Good to call the hubris of “mum & dad property investors”. Australia gives wannabe overlords too much credit in the name of wealth creation, while it’s the same people that price gouge and kick out “mum & dad renters” without a second thought
"The rising cost-of-living, a hotter climate and substandard housing is forcing renters to live in places where temperatures of up to 45°C are considered normal." My latest article for @GreenLeftOnline summarises @BetterRentingAU Cruel Summers report
@BetterRentingAU @purplepingers Normal people: surplus housing should be used to help the homeless. Libertarians:
A landlord who failed to install working smoke alarms was fined only $667 after 5 children and their father died in a fire in their rental property. There are few words to capture the tragedy of something like this, but we think this renter below put it pretty well:
@twtrrr @BetterRentingAU put out a report on rental conditions in Queensland. It's eye opening. x.com/betterrentinga…
Today we launched our report, "Cruel Summers", based upon working with 109 renters over summer to track summer conditions in their rental homes... 🧵
Too many university workers are in insecure employment. Many of those are renters feeling the impacts of the housing crisis. Access to secure and safe housing should be a right, not a privilege. Let's end unfair evictions now ➡️ bit.ly/3xc83mB @TUNSW @BetterRentingAU
You're hearing it more and more! @smh: Rental reforms need to be expedited smh.com.au/national/nsw/r…
@Casualpizza69 @BetterRentingAU I own my house. I can choose to install and pay for fans/aircon or whatever cooling works for me. As an owner it’s my choice and responsibility. If I sell this adds to the value of the property. Renters cannot do this.
This report should be read by all politicians on the summer #heathealth crisis of elevated temperatures in rental accommodation and the powerlessness of renters in a #housingcrisis and #costofliving crisis. @AnthonyC4PV @TimRRead
Today we launched our report, "Cruel Summers", based upon working with 109 renters over summer to track summer conditions in their rental homes... 🧵

@jamesjansson @BetterRentingAU @theprojecttv And most outrageous of all: I feel lucky to have a landlord who I don’t believe will kick me out in retaliation if I ask for upgrades that they don’t want to make.
