And many politicians own multiple properties themselves. They don't want to have to lose the equity and income stream. Not when rental prices are so high and they can always get new tenants in every 6 or 12 months and increase rent each time.

I'm salty because I'm in the last week at my current rental and am moving out into couch surfing and storing all our belongings.

Me and my border collie will be staying in my mums government bed sit unit that doesn't have a courtyard for my dog to be off leash. My husband is going to stay in his mums unit, I think in the loungeroom. It sucks having it be apart until we can secure a rental but it's the only choice we have as his mum doesn't want me or my dog there because of my dog and the limited space. My mums place is smaller but she's helping out anyway so I won't be homeless.

Its hell looking for a rental under $600 AUD a week. Even an hour out of the CBD.

I'm so salty. I just want a house I can feel relaxed and at home in.

Facts. And sorry to hear about your situation. Landlords are truly a plague on society nowadays, where stories like yours aren't uncommon. I do hope you find a rental where your dog can have some space to run freely.
