Families are moving in together in a desperate attempt to secure rental properties, a move experts warn will become more common in a market focused on home ownership.

A real estate agency is not able to engage in misleading and deceptive conduct in order to advertise a property.

If you believe that a property advertisement has been altered to remove 'less attractive' features, please let us know or make a complaint to Consumer Affairs.

The real estate industry is "one of the fastest adopters of AI", using the technology to create listings, enhance images and songs, experts say.

A family with an excellent rental history received 25 rejections for rental properties after listing that they had a dog.

As soon as they stopped declaring that they had a pet, they were immediately approved to view a house.

No renter should be discriminated against for having a pet!
