Ouch. This is why I have ended up in Ballarat. I just count myself fortunate that I could move my job too. Trying to find an affordable rental that was appropriate for a dog as well was not looking likely.

That's a huge amount for rent 😠

wages and benefits should be so much higher, since the destruction of unions and manufacturing industry wages have severely declined

and fuck the REA industry, they get a percentage of the rent so of course they are going to push increases every year, also the scam of all the inspections

reas do not give a shit about renters, their source of money is the landlord and it's them they are squeezing too

Pretty sure it'll be candles for Sol not a proper fire. But it can be a many, many candle event.
