Today is International Tenants' Day

Monday 5th October is International Tenants' Day, a day to highlight the conditions in which tenants conduct their lives. In Tasmania, many tenants live in expensive, substandard housing.  Governments and landlords treat tenants as second class citizens, expecting people to live in housing that they would reject.  But it doesn't have to be this way.  The Tenants' Union of Tasmania calls on local, State and Federal Governments to make housing better, more affordable and very importantly provide more of it.
