Key Points

• The results of the Australian Bureau of Statistics Survey of Income and Housing last May 2022 show that more than 30% of the population is renting.
• When a property is sub-let, someone rents part or all of the property from another person who rented it directly from the rental provider (previously called a landlord) according to Consumer Affairs.
• Despite having benefits in the financial aspect, sub-letting also sacrifices your privacy according to a renter.
