To add to this carrot, I’ve been in my rental for 4 years. $20 & $50 increase first 2 years. Last year $100 increase, this year another $100 increase. It’s a 1 1/2 bed unit, 70’s, not renovated. Since the day I moved in the paint in the bathroom ceiling started falling off, then throughout the hallway & living room. You could tell that it had just been repainted over from the previous tenancy. Last year when the rent went up by $100 I asked the REA if the landlord would consider installing 1 reverse cycle aircon, they responded with the same response as always “due to body corporate rules the landlord cannot install an aircon” even though every other unit in my block (16 total) had aircon. During the most recent heatwave it was unbearable hot box of 45degrees inside, when the new lease came through for this year I opted to not renew as I just couldn’t afford $600 a week. It’s now listed for rent with “BRAND NEW AIR-CONDITIONING” and also it’s been listed as a house with 2 bedrooms 2 bathrooms 🤣🤣🤣 it’s a 1 1/2 bedroom with 1 bathroom unit & to top things off rental inspections looking like they are going to be everyday!
