Submission to the Review of the Residential Tenancies Act 1995 – December 2022

YACSA has advocated for increasing affordable housing options available to young people as a priority issue since 2001 recognising that low vacancy rates and experiences of discrimination in the private rental market have adverse effects on young peoples’ ability to obtain secure and affordable housing. Access to affordable safe, suitable, and sustainable housing is vital for young peoples’ social, psychological, economic, and physical wellbeing especially in the current context of recovery from COVID-19 and so YACSA welcomes the opportunity to provide comment on the review of the Residential Tenancies Act 1995.
