Everyone deserves a safe, secure place to call home. But for the 1.8 million Queenslanders who rent their home, that security is becoming increasingly difficult to find.
As of October 2026, Queensland's rental market remains extraordinarily tight, with the statewide vacancy rate at just 1%. High rents and cost-of-living pressures are putting enormous strain on renter households. Among low-income private renters, more than 40% spend over a third of their income on rent.
At Tenants Queensland, we see what those figures mean in people's lives. Renters come to us worried about keeping their homes and struggling to balance rent with everyday essentials such as food, medication and the costs of raising a family. They’re fearful of seeking repairs and having their tenancies renewed.
For 40 years, Tenants Queensland stood alongside renters. We provide free, independent tenant advisory services to individuals, at the seam time advocating for stronger protections and a fairer renting system overall.
Your donation helps us continue that work. It helps us continue to push for better protections for renting households and strengthens our advocacy for a Queensland where everyone who rents can have a safe, secure and fair place to call home.
