Every South Australian requires access to safe, secure and affordable housing. That is, housing that is affordable for people on low incomes, which positively impacts their health and provides security.
To improve the safety, security and affordability of housing in South Australia, consideration must be made to the high proportion of South Australians that rely on the private rental sector.
Some of the most vulnerable and disadvantaged people are private sector renters. In an increasingly unaffordable and insecure rental market, it is vital that reforms are implemented in the private rental sector to improve the safety, security and affordability of housing.
