đŁ FOUR IN FIVE AUSTRALIANS WANT LIMITS ON RENT INCREASES.
New polling shows that 78% of Australians support a freeze or cap on rent increases.
And itâs not just renters calling for change.
đ 94% of renters
đ 73% of people with a mortgage
đ 71% of outright homeowners
Support cuts across generations, political lines and every state surveyed.
Yet renters across Australia continue to face huge and unpredictable rent increases, forcing people to cut back on essentials or leave their homes and communities.
The message is clear: Australians want action on unfair rent increases.
State governments have the power to introduce fair limits on how much rents can rise. And with overwhelming public support, thereâs no excuse for inaction.
đŁ Help turn public support into political action.
Email your state MP today and ask them to back fair limits on rent increases.
