South-Eastern Metropolitan Region
Rachel PAYNE (South-Eastern Metropolitan) (12:56): (816) My constituency question is for the Minister for Housing. My constituent is a young woman living in Casey. She has recently been informed that her lease will not be renewed. Despite working full time, having a strong rental history and plenty of notice to start looking for a new rental, she has struggled to find one. Unfortunately data from the Council to Homeless Persons shows that this is an all-too-common story. Casey recorded the highest demand for services for those experiencing or at risk of homelessness, so my constituent asks: what is the minister doing to ensure that the residents of Casey can afford accessible rentals?
