What does the experience of renting a home in Australia looks like? How do people who rent their home feel about affordability, security, and do they feel confident in asserting their rights at law? And what are the policy and law reform changes needed to make renting fair across the nation? 
 

This City Futures Research Centre seminar, ‘Experiences of renting in Australia’ – tomorrow Thursday 14 August at 1.30pm – examines the findings of the report ‘Rights at risk: Rising rents and repercussions’ with lead author Chris Martin, Senior Fellow at City Futures. Following the presentation, a panel discussion will delve into systemic challenges within the rental market, exploring their implications for individual renters.  Join Leo Patterson-Ross, CEO of the Tenants’ Union of NSW, and spokesperson for National Association of Renters’ Organisations; Thomas Chailloux, Senior Policy Officer, Shelter NSW, and a lived experience expert (TBC) in this crucial dialogue moderated by Jacqueline Phillips, ACOSS Executive Director of Policy and Research.
