Older Renters in the Western Australian Private Rental Sector: Strategies to enhance housing security for WA's older renters

Reference
More people are reaching retirement age without owning a home, and the number of older people residing in the private rental market is increasing. Fixed incomes, short leases, a lack of affordable housing options and limited capacity to modify a rental property see many older renters experiencing tenure insecurity. This research draws on national legal, financial, planning and policy precedents, to explore interdisciplinary strategies to make housing more secure for older people in the private rental sector in metropolitan and regional WA.
