It’s actually sad when you looking to rent and see properties you grew up in and your parents would have been paying $200 pw and under are now $700pw. Mind you the condition of the property has barely changed.

Then when you’re applying it’s stupid confusing. Some landlords accept bidding some don’t, some agents email you if unsuccessful some don’t. Call me a communist but a little standardisation would go a long way? All of the application forms are different for what you’d surely need the same things.

If you end your lease you have 1 month to secure a new place and currently that’s impossible so landlord continue to jack up prices outside of affordability.

The solution to this problem shouldn’t be, move to the countryside, move in with family or live in your car.

Yet to hear anything from the govt re-renters or young people or the cost of living crisis. Starting to lose hope, if anyone has advice for to make my application the best looking one that would be appreciated 😂
