realestate.com.au gives a toss about renters

realestate.com.au says it understands that renting is hard and is doing something to help the "forgotten victims of Australia's property crisis", launching Australia's first ever 'Renters Retreat'; a home away from home for the most "rentally fatigued".

A dismal 11%* of Australian renters are happy with their current accommodation, so realestate.com.au has bitten the bullet and is offering Australia's renters a break from their rental reality.

During October and November, stressed out renters can enjoy a relaxing weekend at the realestate.com.au Renters Retreat. 

Located on an entire floor of Sydney's newest luxury boutique hotel, The Diamant, the Renters Retreat will provide over 200 Australian renters with a break from the trials of the property hunt.

Unloved renters log onto www.realestate.com.au/renters and share their rental rage stories.  Once entered, they go into the running to win a weekend away at the retreat.

realestate.com.au's general manager Shaun Di Gregorio says, "We're seeing a great social divide between renters and homeowners in Australia. We feel it's important we give some status back to renters".
