The Australian private rental market is broken. Our second Whitepaper, published with PEXA, demonstrates how private renting in Australia works for no one, with poor tenure security and rising rents affecting tenants, and many landlords better off investing in alternatives like superannuation.

This new analysis underscores the urgency of delivering long-term solutions for the 2.9 million households that rent and the nation's 2.2 million property investors.

Why does Australia’s property market fail both landlords and renters?

Our second Whitepaper, published with PEXA, shows that conflicting interests lie at the centre of the problem, between renters’ desire for security and landlords’ need for flexibility. Until this underlying tension is addressed, the renting system will remain broken for both renters and landlords.

What kind of returns do Australian investors typically get from property? The answer may surprise you.

Curious to know why many property investors would have been better off by putting their money into super? Read the LongView | PEXA  Whitepaper to find out
