People looking for rental homes say properties they are applying for are being taken off the market before being re-listed at higher prices.
On 24 April, Linda, who did not want her last name used, applied for a property in Yeronga in Queensland, for $530 a week. The inspection was busy, so she did not think she had much of a chance, but three days later she received an email from the agents incorrectly stating that she had withdrawn her application.
