Finding a place to rent is nigh on impossible

Perth is a city of 2,118,000 people.
The were 882,372 homes in Perth last year.
Of these there are only 2,179 homes available for rent.
I wonder how those who are successful in gaining a new rental do it?
Do they offer more than the asking price?
Do they pay 6/12 months in advance?
I have been in my rental for eight and a half years now. How can I move? What are the chances of me being a successful applicant?
I am not saying I am being evicted or want to move but what would happen if I was evicted for what ever reason?
What is the rental situation where you live?
Plenty of rental stock? Or are there one hundred plus applicant for each new rental when it come onto the market?

The housing issue is so gross. It's bc people see housing as an investment as opposed to a human right. Therefore, people can be charged out the ass for property. It's hilarious how some places, a small piece of land can cost millions
