Alex Levonis applied for 30 Melbourne rental properties over a few weeks, called estate agents to offer more money, and got no call back.
The full-time freelance graphic designer finally found a lease he could take over from a stranger on Facebook.
The place needs repair but Mr Levonis does not dare to ask the landlord for any improvements, for fear that could lead to them asking for higher rent.
He was among renters who gathered to air their issues at a forum held by advocacy group Tenants Victoria in Melbourne on Saturday.
