Tenants are reporting having political signs endorsing candidates removed from their properties in the lead up to the federal election.

Tenants Queensland describe it as an infringement of the right to political expression, while agents say the reason behind the removal of the signs is safety concerns.

Gregory Real Estate principal John Roberts, who has admitted to taking down numerous signs, insists he has no problem with the political persuasion of the signs, and is only trying to protect the homes.
