Every year Anglicare Southern Queensland tests if it is possible for people on low incomes to rent a home in the private market. Renters in Brisbane, Australia, particularly those on low incomes, are continuing to face the dual challenges of extremely limited availability and lack of affordability. This report aims to document the lived experience of those on a low income who have no choice but to compete for these few properties. The snapshot paints the grimmest picture yet of life for low-income renters in Brisbane, and the flow-on impacts that are pushing people to the edge. 

The report presents the findings and what can be done.
