Mikael believes he only managed to secure a rental because his mother and her partner agreed to be listed on the lease as tenants. The real estate agent wasn’t bothered that they wouldn’t actually be living in the property.Now a full-time massage student at TAFE, Mikael’s income largely comes from Centrelink. Sixty percent of his income goes towards rent and bills, with the remaining 40% going on necessities like food, phone credit and transportation.
While renters in all age groups experienced these problems, those under 30 were “scathing” about the system, which they found to be “a series of frustrating encounters with disconnected pieces of a puzzle in which the outcome was always uncertain”. Young renters also reported repeatedly trialling different ways of filling out applications to find a formula that works, with some people like Mikael describing ethical dilemmas over how much information to give landlords about who will actually live in the place.
The report’s research included workshops with renters. Among the young renters who participated were Mikael, and Finnegan Erben, a 26-year-old student.
