Low-income earners are still struggling in the rental market, despite Brisbane being branded as one of Australia’s more affordable cities for rental properties.
Reports found that a single person on an income of $15,000 a year, including benefits, would find the majority of Brisbane out of their price range.
Housing and homelessness peak body Q Shelter executive director Leone Crayden said that working families with children, students, young people and low-income households continue to be stuck in rental stress.
