Compare and Contrast

Recent hikes will be limited to once a year rather than every six months, Queensland Premier Annastacia Palaszczuk told parliament in late March.

Tenants Queensland also wants a cap on the amount rent can be increased.

The state's homelessness has risen by 22 per cent in the past five years, according to a recent report.

The most recent report by the Rental Affordability Index found Brisbane is now the second-least affordable capital city to rent in, after an increase of 17 per cent in the 12 months to June 2022.

Ms Palaszczuk said "The great majority of landlords do the right thing and look after their tenants but for those who do not, this is a wake-up call."

"We must act and will act to deliver reforms that balance the rights and interests of Queenslanders who rent and property owners to sustain healthy rental supply.

"This is fair and it is required at a time when we have seen cost of living soar and families continue to struggle.”
