A discussion around the availability of rental properties in the Bundaberg region has attracted more than 100 contributions from NewsMail readers.
Data released by the REIQ on Tuesday revealed the Bundaberg region's rental availability was sitting at just 0.5 per cent - one of the lowest rates in a state rife with rental shortages.
Concerned locals have spoken of the difficulty in finding rentals in the region and across the nation after the NewsMail shared the story of an Ipswich family who'd applied for more than 100 homes without success.
Paula Jean is one of them and says while she tried to buy a home in Bundaberg, her family fell through the cracks.
