Finding accomodation

Andy1 — Sun, 09 Aug 2020 05:57:26 GMT

hello all, of all the medical side effects, I’m finding returning to the rental market the most difficult, as I can’t show a employment history in the last 2 years the real estates won’t even respond to me. Or is it the stigma with cancer?does anyone have any tips? Hope you are all coping well, boy what a doozy this puts us in

Hi @Andy1,

I just wanted to check in and see how you've been doing.

Have you had any luck with the real estates at all?

Sorry to hear that @Andy1!

Have you spoken with Fair Trading at all? Might be good for getting some advice.

Or another organisation who might be able to assist - the Tenants Advice and Advocacy Service. You can give them a call on 8117-3700 to find your local service or visit their website: tenants.org.au
