Renters are being forced to live in sweltering conditions, with homes recording inside temperatures 3C hotter than outside across the summer, a new report from Better Renting has revealed.
Summer temperatures inside 109 rental homes across the country were tracked from December to February this year, as part of the organisation’s Renter Researchers citizen-science project. The report found renters across Australia were experiencing a median indoor temperature of 25C, meaning homes were above this level 50% of the time.
