Renter union vents frustration at Federal rent assistance increase

From 20 September the federal government raised Commonwealth Rent Assistance 10 per cent, adding as much as $23 a fortnight for eligible tenants, following a rise of the same size in the May budget. A renters’ union dismissed the measure as effectively passing public money to landlords, while Tenants Victoria called for more investment in public and community housing. PIPA said any help with rising rents was welcome.
