Annual Report 2011-2012

As a tenant in New South Wales, you are in good company: according to the 2011 Census more than 743,000 households – that’s 30 percent of all households – live in rental housing. This is an increase of three percent on the 2006 Census.

Tenants come from all walks of life. Most renter households (about 62 percent) are families, and most of these families (66 percent) include dependent children. About 28 percent of renter households comprise just one person and about eight percent are group households.

This snapshot of NSW renters demonstrates the ongoing relevance of, and need for, the Tenants’ Union of NSW. Read about our work in our 2011-2012 Annual Report.
