"For people relying on rental properties to keep a roof over their heads, there
are few things more scary than the possibility of being evicted from their
home.

The paucity of official statistics makes it difficult to know exactly how
common evictions are. In 2019–20, 13.8% of private renters moved due to their
lease being terminated or not renewed.

Besides a report or two, we know little about what happens when households face
the possibility of being evicted, or are actually evicted.

Our research examines these consequences. Through in-depth interviews with 53
private tenants in New South Wales and Queensland, we found these experiences
negatively shaped people’s lives well into the future. Here are four themes we
identified."
