Renters in New South Wales endured sweltering summer heat, with temperatures soaring up to 40 degrees Celsius indoors. Better Renting, a rental advocacy group, found that many renters experienced average 12-hour stretches of 25-30 degree heat, surpassing the World Health Organizations overheating danger line. This led to health issues such as fatigue, headaches, nausea, anxiety, and chronic condition flare-ups, with two participants requiring emergency room visits. New South Wales lacks mandatory energy efficiency rules for rentals, unlike the ACT and Victoria, which have implemented standards. Better Renting is advocating for minimum standards to ensure renters safety and well-being, as vulnerable tenants fear rent increases or tribunal battles for basic amenities like air conditioning.
