25.01.2022 BREAKING - Qld government chooses NOT to extend the evictions moraotorium
24.01.2022 Tenants should know about proposed developments in their neighbourhood. Follow Tenants Queensland for more information about this proposal.
23.01.2022 From 2015......worth remembering, for sure!
23.01.2022 In Vancouver, annual rent increases are limited to roughly the rate of inflation. Really interesting to see what is happening there to stop landlords from being able to evict tenants in order to renovate, and then substantially increase rental rates. http://rebrand.ly/ucon6

22.01.2022 We are pleased to announce The Services Union, as our latest Make Renting Fair campaign supporter! It's time to #MakeRentingFair in Queensland.
22.01.2022 This week is national homelessness week. If you think homelessness isn't a problem in your community, you might be surprised by what you see in these "heat maps". The maps show the number of homeless people in your area and how many social houses are needed for them. Once you're done looking at the numbers, visit @EverybodysHomeCampaign and follow their links to email the Treasurer. Josh Frydenberg needs to get the message that social housing should be a budget priority.

20.01.2022 Help extend the moratorium on evictions! If you’re worried about what will happen to you at the end of the evictions moratorium on September 29, send an email t...o the Minister for Housing calling for an extension (by using the easy link below). We’re being contacted by COVID-impacted renters with mounting debts and unresolved disputes. With less than four weeks before the current protections end, they're concerned they or their family might be made homeless. TQ is calling on the government to extend the protections to the end of the year. Now is not the time to let people become homeless. https://tenantsqld.org.au/extend-the-moratorium-on-evictio/
20.01.2022 These are the experiences of single older women in the private rental market in the Greater Sydney region (pre-COVID). Have you had / are having similar experiences? https://theconversation.com/uprooting-no-matter-how-small-a
20.01.2022 The tenants in this piece, which aired last night, are an example of why we need to extend the evictions moratorium in Qld. https://www.abc.net.au//covid-19-eviction-bans-en/12626422

18.01.2022 More amazing news out of Victoria, with today's announcement of new minimum energy efficiency standards for rental properties. We really need the Queensland Government to follow suit. What do you think Leeanne Enoch MP and Annastacia Palaszczuk MP ? http://rebrand.ly/qosnq

13.01.2022 A call out to the Victorian public housing tenants in lockdown - we wish you all well and good health. Whilst the Vic government's announcement of a two week re...nt waiver and one-off support payments for those in hard lockdown are welcomed, it will be a challenging time for all the impacted tenants. Our thoughts are with you. Victorian Public Tenants Association See more

13.01.2022 Any financial relief is good news for Queensland renters!
12.01.2022 Time for some action on tenancy law reforms!
12.01.2022 Without an extension, the Qld evictions moratorium will end on September 29,. We think it needs to be extended. Do you share our concerns for what might happen otherwise? https://www.theguardian.com//fewer-than-10-of-australian-t
12.01.2022 The failure to extend the residential evictions moratorium will hurt real people.
12.01.2022 Anyone got room in their rental for these four legged friends?
12.01.2022 Let's #RaiseTheRateForGood! Vulnerable Australians have been receiving higher income support payments during the COVID period, but those payments are soon to return to the old Newstart rate of $40/day, which puts them below the poverty line. How would you manage to pay the rent, eat fresh food, search for new employment and pay for transport, electricity and other essentials on such a low rate? We can do better, Australia! Show your support today! Sign the petition: https://r...aisetherate.org.au/ Share this post with friends. Contact your local MP. See more

10.01.2022 We want to congratulate the Vic gov on their announcement yesterday to deliver 12,000 social housing properties over the next 4 years. The absence of leadershi...p from the Commonwealth government on this issue is devastating. Why aren't we seeing a countrywide stimulus package aimed at delivery social housing, creating jobs and homes? https://www.abc.net.au//victorian-government-anno/12884962

07.01.2022 Why would the government extend the commercial tenancy moratorium but allow the eviction of COVID impacted residential renters commence later this month?
07.01.2022 Something to make you smile on a hump-day. Seriously though, have you checked out Pet Positive's website?

02.01.2022 How are things going for you in your tenancy?
01.01.2022 No, this isn't a piece of modern art! As a nurse this tenant was acutely aware of the respiratory health risks she faced living in a mould infested unit. After... multiple emails to the agent, the tenant breached her lessor and finally had to terminate her tenancy when her lessor failed to do repairs to address the mould issue. This is why the #makerentingfairqld campaign is so important - we want basic standards enforced for all rental homes. Have you experienced anything like this photo? See more
01.01.2022 Rental markets are tight right across the state. Nobody should be looking for a new property unnecessarily, which is why people doing the right thing should be able to stay in their homes - right now, renters can be asked to leave without being given any reason.
01.01.2022 ACT NOW! With only 8 days, tell the Annastacia Palaszczuk MP to support Qld renters with an extension on the evictions moratorium https://makerentingfairqld.org.au/help-extend-the-moratori/# Mission Australia Foodbank QLD Queensland Shelter Micah Projects Brisbane Youth Service
