Has your rent been hiked lately? We want to hear from you.

According to Tenants Victoria 80% of rentals have had their rent increased in the past 2 years.

That’s why we’re gathering rent hike stories to take straight to the government. (1/2)
Tile with decorative images of houses along the bottom, and one hand dropping coins into another. Text reading "Have you been hit with a rent increase? You're not alone" Tile with a decorative image of a wallet with notes poking out of it. Text reading "In the past two years 80% of rental households have had their rent hiked." Screenshots of social media comments with their names blanked out. "The bootstraps have been pulled so tight but the boots are in cement" "My rent has doubled. Next year it will be going up to $700 a week. It used to be $270 a week. I give up at this point" Text reading "Meanwhile wages are hardly growing and the cost of a bag of groceries is through the roof." Decorative image of a hand holding a mobile phone with "Notice of rent increase" on the screen.
