The rental crisis is cooked.
A recent study by ACOSS showed that a whopping 68% of renters fear lodging maintenance or repair requests for fear of being lumped with a rent increase. It’s no wonder people are worried about their rent going up — it’s now close to impossible to find an affordable rental property in this country.
Yet while everyday people suffer, Labor and the LNP stand to give $180 billion in tax handouts to property investors over the next decade, adding fuel to the fire and making this desperate situation even worse.
The Greens will always fight for renters. We know real action means capping rent increases, phasing out negative gearing and scrapping the capital gains tax discount.
We need real, meaningful action, not more of the same.
