These Aussie landlords are offering 'free rent'

It sounds too good to be true but these Sydney landlords are offering up to three weeks of free rent.

Sydney unit rents have jumped another $20 (or 2.9 per cent) over the June 2024 quarter to a record high of $720 per week, based on Domain data. However the vacancy rate has consistently improved, reaching a six-month high of 1.2 per cent in June.

This trend is helping to alleviate rental pressures and slow the growth of rental prices.
