Renters edge towards cliff as Australia halts evictions bans and welfare support

“A lot of renters around Australia are in very bad situations,” says Joel Dignam of the advocacy group Better Renting. “And that’s the combination of the protections expiring, the state of the rental market, particularly in regional areas, and of course, the cuts to income support from the federal government.” Most states ended their bans on evictions last month – about the same time the government’s jobkeeper wage subsidy and boosted jobseeker payments also came to an end. Not only can owners apply to have people evicted for rental arrears again, landlords can increase rents once more. Dignam’s group estimated in November between 5% to 15% of tenants Australia-wide may have been in rental debt, which would equate to 324,000 to 973,000 people.
