Navigating the Challenges of Renting in Australia

With home ownership out of reach, more and more younger Australians have no choice but to rent for much longer than their parents ever did – maybe for the rest of their lives.

That puts younger Australians at the mercy of landlords, making some intensely angry and leading to what might be described as a “renters resistance”. 

In this episode of 7am’s five-part special series on the housing crisis, we meet the people who are trying to make it better: the people who are mobilising, taking matters into their own hands and fighting back.
