AB  - This research examines discrimination and existing policy, law and practice in Australia鈥檚 private rental sector (PRS) including the impact of informal tenancies and the increasing role of digital technologies.
Discrimination in the PRS has been exacerbated by the growth of the informal sector, which exposes more people without a legally binding lease to the threat of unregulated rental discrimination and very limited security of tenure and other rights.

Alongside the growth in renting is a rapid increase in digital real estate technologies that have profoundly reshaped how tenants, landlords and agents navigate the PRS. These digital technologies, whether apps, automated management systems or online housing markets, are at risk of reproducing existing and creating new housing inequalities.

The structural nature of discrimination means that its effects are embedded in policy areas that intersect with housing, and therefore discrimination in the PRS cannot be addressed independently of the broader policy landscape. Responses should be holistic, addressing structural discrimination鈥攚ith attention to health, energy, social security, labour, transport, climate, ageing, immigration and cyber security policies鈥攁nd multi-scalar, through direct mechanisms to reduce discrimination in the PRS and by reshaping the broader property and rental markets.
