Advocates are calling for rent increases in Queensland to be tied to inflation plus 10 per cent and limited to one per year amid a housing crisis in the state.
The Queensland Council of Social Services and Tenants Queensland say the state government must intervene in the private rental market to help people struggling to meet the cost of living.
The two advocacy groups say Queensland has the highest rental inflation in Australia, with median rents rising by 80 per cent in Gladstone, 51 per cent in Noosa, and 33 per cent on the Gold Coast since 2018.
