New AHURI research investigates the increasing use of property technology (PropTech) in Australia’s rental sector, and its implications for renters’ rights.

Study lead Dr Sophia Maalsen said with a third of Australian households renting and PropTech’s role in housing access increasing, understanding its influence was essential.

A bipartisan national housing and homelessness strategy would support more effective policy and greater coordination of effort across all states and territories, a new AHURI report suggests.
