The Rent Shock: How a Sudden Rent Increase Can Damage Your Mental Health

What happens when your rent suddenly jumps by hundreds of dollars a month?

It isn't simply a financial problem. New Australian research suggests that large, sudden rent increases can have a measurable impact on people's mental wellbeing.

In this episode of Deep Dive, we explore the research behind Australia's rental market and examine why sudden financial shocks can affect mental health, who is most vulnerable, and why the impact of housing insecurity can extend far beyond the amount written on a rental notice.

We look at the difference between simply living in an expensive housing market and experiencing a sudden housing shock, the importance of stability and predictability, and why renters may have far less power than they appear to have.

A rent increase might arrive as a letter — but its consequences can follow someone into every part of their life.
