The Rental Report time series dataset provides detailed time-series statistics for some key Rental Report data from the March quarter of 2000 to the December quarter of 2017. This specific dataset presents statistics on affordable 1 bedroom rental properties by the 2016 Local Government Areas geographic level. Affordable rental properties are those within 30 per cent of gross income for low-income households. The rental thresholds are taken from the household incomes for whom that number of bedrooms is a minimum:

For one-bedroom properties, we have taken the income of singles on Newstart allowance;

For two-bedroom properties, we have taken a single parent pensioner with one child aged under 5;

For three-bedroom properties, we have taken a couple on Newstart with two children;

For four-bedroom properties, we have taken a couple on Newstart with four children.

The Rental Report provides the most accurate information on the private rental market in Victoria. The data come from records kept by the Residential Tenancies Bond Authority (RTBA). The RTBA is responsible for receiving, registering and refunding all bonds associated with private residential leases in Victoria.
