UPDATE: 6th September, 11pm:
The Bill passed! Two out of the four undecided MPs we were targeting -- including the MP who received more calls than any other - voted for the Bill.
Rent bidding, and the predatory apps which facilitate it, will now be illegal in Victoria!
****
A bill to ban apps that push up rental prices in Victoria is one vote away from becoming law! Together, we could get this groundbreaking Bill passed if you contact your state MP now.
Rent-bidding apps pit people wanting to rent a home against each other by forcing desperate applicants into rent-bidding wars. Getting these predatory apps banned in our state comes down to just four politicians who are still undecided about which way they’ll vote.
This is a crucial moment. If SumOfUs members like you in Victoria can convince just one of the politicians to vote for the bill, together we’d get a win against unethical tech companies profiting off making homes more expensive for all of us.
Can you take a moment to call one of these politicians and ask them to support the Bill?
