Farewell tweeps, we're breaking the lease as the landlord has made living here untenable. He drops in to break things, graffitis slurs on our walls, has taken over the neighbours house too and is disconnecting their utilities. Please forward mail to oldertenants.org.au/subscrib…

Kara is an older renter struggling to make ends meet in private rental. She's worried that if the rent goes up again she will end up homeless, and is asking the government to "Please help us!". Kara told her story to @theprojecttv this week

Diehard @westernbulldogs fan Lyn has worked all her life, but is struggling to pay the rent. Two thirds of retired renters are in poverty. We need more public housing so that people like Lyn have an affordable place to call home.

It's going to be a hot one! Older people can be at risk on hot days and not all of us have air con! Make sure you stay out of the sun, drink water, draw your blinds, use a fan, take cool showers and check in on each other!
