‘A social calamity’: record-high rents push tenants across Australia to breaking point

Tenants across the capitals reported steep increases and eviction notices as asking rents reached record highs, with Sydney up 23.7 per cent over the year and Brisbane up 22.2 per cent. The national vacancy rate fell to 0.9 per cent in August, the lowest since 2006. Housing advocates called for expanded social housing and higher income support, while Queensland moved to allow granny flats to be rented privately.
