They’re the inner city Sydney suburbs where you can score a rental under $500 a week.

New PropTrack figures have revealed that one quarter of Sydney’s suburbs recorded a drop in price for rental houses, while another quarter experienced a rent freeze.

A typical Sydney rental now costs about $803 per week.

This coincided with an increase in available rental housing, with Sydney’s inner city and eastern suburbs seeing particularly large jumps in rental listings.

Although the rental crisis is stil on going, renters can snap up a pad within 20kms of the CBD for $500 or less.
