Renting a property in the current Queensland housing market can be stressful. There are a range of supports available to assist with the renting process.

RentConnect is a service that helps people struggling to find and apply for a rental property. The barriers may be due to limited rental history, a lack of skills, knowledge, or understanding of how the rental market works, or due to a lack of documents required to rent a property.

Sometimes the barrier to gaining appropriate housing is financial. The Queensland Government have Bond Loans and Rental Grants which can help cover the cost of bonds (no interest loan which is to be repaid) or two weeks’ rent.

To get help with renting, call QGOV (13 74 68) or contact your local Housing Service Centre. Additionally, the Tenants Assist Qld app and Housing Assist Qld app can help public housing tenants or bond loan/rental grant customers manage their interactions with the support services.
