Landlord raises 67 year old's rent by 70%
Forcing the pensioner out.
She was paying $350 a week, the rise means her rent would go to $595 a week.
Housing advocates in Queensland are calling for a cap on rental increases as growing numbers of tenants are forced out of homes in a market with almost no restrictions on price hikes.

Meanwhile elderly people are being made homeless by this despicable greed.
