Rent Tracker Research Project
19/07/2024
The Tenants' Union Rent Tracker Research Project aims to give tenants, researchers, journalists, and others a clear way to understand rent movements in NSW. The tools below use data published by NSW Fair Trading and are updated monthly or as often as the data is made available.
If you have feedback on Rent Tracker, or need help using it, please contact the Tenants’ Union. Or if you are a renter in need of tenancy advice, please contact your local Tenants Advice and Advocacy Service. You can also find out about our methodology and approach to data analysis here.

Rent Tracker tools
Use this tool to find rent data by postcode. It may be useful if you're moving to a new area or comparing rents in different areas. First search the postcode and then adjust other filters, such as the type of home and number of bedrooms.
Our Rent Increase Negotiation Kit brings together a range of resources to help tenants negotiate with the landlord or agent about a proposed rent increase. You can put your postcode into the Letter Generator and download a personalised letter and data summary.
