For a $3,898 per month apartment, a 10% broker fee would be $4,667, while a 15% fee would cost the renter $7,016.

Greens housing spokesman Max Chandler-Mather said Albanese’s purchase highlights the need for reform to lucrative tax incentives for property investors and greater renter protections.

He also proposed a “renter’s tax credit,” akin to the tax deduction that allows homeowners to write off their mortgage interest payments.

She wants the city to provide funding so that every renter who faces eviction has access to a lawyer.
