Port Adelaide renter Shay Leach has started heading into her CBD office for warmth as her apartment has become too expensive to heat properly.
Port Adelaide renter Shay Leach’s unit is so cold she’s considered buying a reverse cycle air conditioner in a property she doesn’t own.
Port Adelaide renter Shay Leach’s apartment is so cold that she has considered shelling out for an air conditioner, but is worried her landlord would then jack up the rent.She would normally expect to pay between $200 and $300 per quarter, and now the 30-year-old is assessing whether she would live in the apartment long enough to see a return on an investment in a heating system.
It allows her to save money and be more productive, as she struggles to concentrate while feeling the cold at home. “We don’t have any kind of autonomy to make important adjustments that would make our heating more sustainable, whether that be double-glazing or an energy-efficient heater. But then the rising cost of living is making it even harder to save up and aspire to homeownership.”
