Every year since 2007, Anglicare Tasmania’s Social Action and Research Centre (SARC) has analysed the rental market across Tasmania for the Rental Affordability Snapshot.
The Snapshot looks at all properties listed for rent on realestate.com.au on a weekend at the end of March every year. It then assesses whether each property is affordable and appropriate for 14 types of households on low incomes, including young people, single parents, working families, older people and those dependent on Centrelink benefits.
Anglicare Tasmania has released its annual Rental Affordability Snapshot.
It found that the number of affordable rentals has declined since last year, with a 25% drop in listings and record low vacancy rates in all regions.
The lack of affordable rental properties is pushing Tasmanians into financial stress or homelessness.
We need governments to work together to deliver social housing at scale, and we need an immediate increase in the rate of income support.
