Your reason for supporting Healthy Homes

Have you lived in a rental property that was freezing in winter, only to be sweltering in summer? Maybe you know someone whose home had mould, or was so hot in summer they had to move.... Whatever your reason for supporting the campaign, we'd love to know.

Because I think the median wage in a wealthy country should be worth more than asbestos, mold, lead paint and your landlord’s dream (welfare from poorer people).

My rental has had mould through it that I am constantly battling to keep at bay. A painter came to fix our bathroom roof and said whoever painted the place had not given it an anti mould coat and that is why it was rampant. I’m sick of the Canberra rental market all of the homes (if you can get one) are sub standard for what the price is. Its the worst city I’ve lived in and no one seems to care about it.

Because we are not second-class citizens nor a blight on society. We lived in a house obviously with no insulation sweltering in summer and freezing in winter. It had a tiny aircon in the kitchen but it was a big house and did hardly anything. My bedroom faced west and I couldn’t go into it in summer. We took the place as the ad said ceiling fans but they didn’t work. It took weeks to get them fixed. Our new home has mould which the agent is actioning.
