Property Unpacked podcast: Is this the secret weapon renters need?

The rental market has been going through some serious ebbs and flows this past year, with vacancy rates in some Australian cities soaring and others lacking in supply to keep up with the increasing rental demand. This has left many tenants in uncharted waters and needing a real edge above the rest in securing their perfect rental.

This week on Property Unpacked,  we are joined by renters’ advocate Sarah Elkordi, of The Rent Fairy, who shares with us how she sets applicants up to stand out from the crowd and the growing need for services like her own in today’s rental climate.

She tells us: “I was in property management for ten years and found, there was nothing there to help the tenants.”

“There’s a bit of a gap between tenants, agents and landlords … everybody should be given a fair go, if that means the landlord has 15 applications to choose from, I think all 15 should be sent to the landlord to be chosen, because a lot of the time, it’s just first in first served.”

Then, with the latest Domain Rent Report out, we unpack the results with Editorial Director Adrian Lowe.
