episode 1222: The Great Housing Disaster: The renters resistance
With home ownership out of reach, more and more younger Australians have no choice but to rent for much longer than their parents ever did – maybe for the rest of their lives.
That puts younger Australians at the mercy of landlords, making some intensely angry and leading to what might be described as a “renters resistance”.
In this episode of 7am’s five-part special series on the housing crisis, we meet the people who are trying to make it better: the people who are mobilising, taking matters into their own hands and fighting back.
