In 2022, Sweltering Cities was collecting stories from renters across Victoria about what it feels like to live in a hot home. They compiled these stories into a submission to the Victorian Government’s inquiry into the rental and housing affordability crisis.
These powerful stories paint a stark picture of the struggles that renters are facing to stay safe and cool in the heat. They also highlight the changes Victorian renters want to see as a result of the inquiry, and shed light on the urgent need for legislative reforms that protect our communities from baking in hot homes.
