Finding an affordable rental is a 'near-impossible feat', Mission Australia says. Just ask Linda Thompson, who's living in a caravan with her family after losing her rented home of 16 years.
abc.net.au/news/family-living-in-caravan-due-to-rising-sydney-rental-market/101900132A Sydney mother says she had no option but to move her family into a "stinking-hot" caravan after being forced to leave the rental home she had lived in for 16 years.
"We're now sitting in a stinking-hot caravan out the front of my older daughter's house," Ms Thompson said. There are only two beds, while their makeshift wardrobe, kitchen, laundry and living room are all wedged into the tent area outside. People who cannot afford inner-city areas have to move outwards, with their "desperation" leveraged to ask for higher prices in the suburbs.
