There is still much to do though to ensure that the for profit rooming house sector meets minimum standards and ensures the legal rights of vulnerable residents. Also, despite daily media on increasing homelessness and people resorting to sleeping in cars and tents, the State Government is dragging its heals when it comes to substantially increasing the supply of social housing.

There's something about renting in SA! Highest rent increases (in some regional areas especially) and lowest vacancy rates, with no real plan for the future to assist low income renters. Also, find out how much you need to earn to buy a home these days (hint: a lot!). Read on https://lnkd.in/gT9qRH3V
