Astonishing footage has shown more than 200 prospective tenants crowded into a suburban street in Hinchinbrook, Sydney on Wednesday for a rental inspection
Hundreds lined up to inspect the $530-a-week four-bedroom home (pictured), but more than half were left disappointed after police shut down the inspection so they could clear the street
‘The police had no problem with our social distancing processes,’ she said.
‘They were called because people were not parking properly and mercedes mini van blocking driveways. The officers said traffic was backed up all the way to the main road.’
Three officers in two squad cars could bee seen standing in the home’s front yard as the crowds dispersed.
Social media users were stunned by the large crowds and many saw it as a symptom of Australia’s under-supplied housing market.
‘I’m so glad I do not have to deal with the stress of rent in this day and age,’ one person wrote. ‘It’s really getting bad.’
‘Who in their right mind would choose to live in Sydney when you could live elsewhere,’ another said.
Others said they had tried to get into the inspection, but were turned away because demand was so high.
Ms Mucedola said rental properties were extremely hard to come by in Sydney at the moment due to pent-up demand after last year’s three-month hard Covid lockdown.

‘It was definitely a hectic open house,’ she said.’There are a lot of people looking for a property to rent at the moment.’
