Renting & The Housing Crisis

As always, life the universe get in the way of blogging intentions. Which is why I'm going to do something different. 

Australia is in the midst of a housing crisis. Many are now stuck in rental's and finding rents sky rocketing and conditions deteriorating - or becoming homeless. 

These aren't just people we would normally consider vulnerable, but those on double median incomes. Many with families. 

Finding myself now trapped in this cycle, I've joined many groups and spoken directly to people stuck in this situation. I could write on this forever, but I also have a business to run and family and really believe first hand experiences are important - so I would like your contributions, your comments and shares. retweets etc. 

These voices, your voices need to be national. Whilst each state has it's own residential tenancy act and each state has it's own tenancy union, the issues renters are experiencing state to state do not vary. Which is why I'd like to hear and see the voices of those from across the country. Your experiences and your suggested solutions for moving forward.

 

For those willing to contribute please send me an email here, but please remember to state which state you are in and whether you wish to remain anonimous. Your contribution will be published to this blog site without editing (although swearing will be redacted) because this is your voice, your thoughts and experiences.

From time to time, I may also open this blog up to comments - but they will be moderated before going live.
