COVID-19 Rental Health Check Survey

We know that many renters have been doing it tough during the COVID-19 pandemic. As the Greens (WA) Spokesperson for Housing and as a renter myself, I want to make renting fair for everyone in WA.

Will you complete this survey to tell us about your renting experience during the pandemic?

Feel free to contact my office if you have any questions or concerns on (08) 9274 8484 or tim.clifford@mp.wa.gov.au.

Thanks for completing the survey!
