Hi and thanks for downloading.

We know how challenging it can be to navigate Australia's competitive rental market while staying financially healthy. With the increasing cost of living, we are all feeling the pressure on our budgets. As Australia’s number one site dedicated to renters, we believe in supporting you in any way we can, which is why we're excited to launch this guide to help you achieve financial wellness while renting.

Did you know that about a third of Australians rent, and that the fastest-growing group of renters are highly educated, well-paid, and choose to rent?

Renting offers flexibility, affordability, and a lower barrier to entry than homeownership, making it a smart choice for many Australians. At Rent.com.au we're motivated to constantly develop technology and create tools that make renting better for everyone, this guide is just one small example of that.

In this guide, we'll share practical tips and insights to help you take control of your finances and make the most of your rental experience.

We've included advice on creating a financial plan, breaking down the factors that can affect your credit score, and exploring rental options like build-to-rent that can drive meaningful change for renters.

We hope you find this guide helpful and informative. And don't forget to check out our blogs on Rent.com.au and RentPay.com.au for more tips and insights into the Australian rental market, as you continue on your journey to financial freedom.
