Rental Market

Now might be a good time to look at the rental market given we have a large number of people who will need short term homes. Our rents have gone up, landlords are increasing prices, accommodation is in short supply. I get the bit about some people trashing rental accommodation. We have had a tiresome run of the tenants from hell. Now we have landlords who have upped the prices and there was an article online at the weekend about some landlords asking for sex, or more or less requiring it as part of the deal for accomodation in a house...you and they get to stay in the same room and same bed. Is this Australia? Don't we think more of our women? Didn't that sort of thinking literally go out with the ark? Time to look at short term accommodation , and yes, let's look at tenant behaviour too. We have reached crisis point and there are good people out there who need a home at a reasonable price. This predatory approach has to go.
