The rental market in WA is extremely tight at the moment, with vacancy rates in Perth at below one percent, and below 1.5 percent in the regional WA.
There has been a consistent decline in the number of rental properties available, combined with an increase in demand, particularly since COVID border restrictions were removed.
These conditions are fuelling increased prices, so it’s tough to find a property to rent at all and even harder to find one you can afford.
If you’ve found yourself looking for a place to rent in the current market, it’s understandably a pretty stressful situation to be in, but you’re not alone.
