RLC in the Media: 'You just take it': the students at the sharp end of Sydney's housing nightmare

Date published

Despite a crackdown on illegal boarding houses, a lack of affordable housing continues to force many international students into exploitative, sometimes illegal living arrangements.

This article highlights the pressures and vulnerabilities faced by international students, and speaks to RLC's International Student Solicitor, Sean Stimson, and Leo Patterson Ross from Tenants' Union of NSW about trends they’re seeing in tenancy-related scams.

Amy McNeilage reports for The Guardian (20 March 2018).
