\"\"International students commonly share bedrooms so they can afford the rent. What is perhaps much more surprising is that our research suggests thousands are \u201chot-bedding<\/a>\u201d \u2013 their beds are available to them for only some hours of the day or night so others can use them the rest of the time. If\u00a0our survey<\/a>\u00a0of more than 7,000 international students renting privately in Sydney and Melbourne is representative of the\u00a0758,154 international students<\/a>\u00a0in Australia in December 2019, this equates to about 22,750 students hot-bedding.<\/p>\n

In our survey, 3% of all students answered yes to the question, \u201cDo you have to hotbed (i.e. our bed is only available for a few hours of the day\/night)?\u201d. The survey also found about four in ten of these hot-bedding students were going without meals. And this was before\u00a0nearly two-thirds of international students<\/a>\u00a0lost their jobs in the COVID-19 pandemic.<\/p>\n

Another extraordinary finding is that 14% of hot-bedders said their employer had threatened them with visa cancellation (compared to 2% of non-hot-bedders). One in five (20%, compared to 5% of non-hot-bedders) answered yes when asked: \u201cHas the landlord\/real estate agent\/property manager ever taken away your passport?\u201d<\/p>\n

These findings suggest a sizeable proportion of hot-bedders are struggling financially and in a vulnerable situation. Many said their circumstances were having a negative impact on their studies.<\/p>\n

Despite this, almost eight in ten agreed or strongly agreed that they \u201cenjoy living and studying in Australia\u201d.<\/p>\n

Who are the hot-bedders?<\/strong><\/h4>\n

In our survey, 45% of hot-bedders were female. Just under two-thirds (65%) were university students, rather than studying at vocational or English language colleges.<\/p>\n

Hot-bedding was spread across all age groups and countries of origin. Thus 4% were aged 18, a quarter were 19 to 21, 42% were 22 to 25, 18% were 26 to 30 and 11% were over 30.<\/p>\n

Just under a third came from low-income countries, half came from middle-income countries and 15% from high-income countries.<\/p>\n

How do they feel about rent costs?<\/strong><\/h4>\n

Hot-bedders were generally satisfied with their rent \u2013 23% disagreed with the statement, \u201cI think the rent I pay is fair.\u201d<\/p>\n

However, one in two (51%) strongly agreed or agreed they worried about paying rent each week (compared to 35% for non-hot-bedders) and only 21% (36% non-hot-bedders) disagreed.<\/p>\n

Most students (58%) living less than 40 minutes away from their education provider paid more than $250 a week in rent.<\/p>\n

About four in ten hot-bedders agreed they \u201cgo without necessities like food so I can pay for my accommodation\u201d and had failed to make a rent payment because of a lack of funds. The rates for students who didn\u2019t hot-bed were two in ten.<\/p>\n

Almost half (48%) of hot-bedders agreed concern about paying the rent was having a negative impact on their studies.<\/p>\n

How do they view their accommodation?<\/strong><\/h4>\n

Despite having to hot-bed, just under eight in ten (78%) of these students said they were satisfied or very satisfied with the home they are renting.<\/p>\n

Just over seven in ten (72%) agreed with the statement, \u201cThe home I rent is suitable for my needs.\u201d Only 7% disagreed.<\/p>\n

Only one in ten hot-bedders agreed the person they rent from did not keep the property well-maintained.<\/p>\n

Just over one in four (27%) hot-bedders felt their home was overcrowded compared to 12% of non-hot-bedders.<\/p>\n

The cramped situation appeared to have a negative impact on their academic work. About one in three (35%) agreed or strongly agreed that \u201cthe condition of my accommodation has a negative impact on my studies\u201d, compared to 13% of those who didn\u2019t hot-bed.<\/p>\n

Remarkably, just under one in four (23%) hot-bedding students answered \u201cyes\u201d when asked if the \u201cbalcony of the property is used as a bedroom\u201d, compared to 5% of students who did not hot-bed. A similar percentage of hot-bedders (and 4% of non-hot-bedders) said the garage is used as a bedroom.<\/p>\n

How secure do they feel?<\/strong><\/h4>\n

Most hot-bedders reported they had a good relationship with their landlord or real estate agent. Only 6% said it was \u201cbad\u201d or \u201cnot very good\u201d.<\/p>\n

Close to half (45%) of hot-bedders said the person they pay rent to lives in the same accommodation. It\u2019s unclear whether this is the actual landlord, or a person who sub-lets the property.<\/p>\n

Two in three hot-bedders sensed they \u201ccould stay in this rental property as long as they want to\u201d. Despite the seemingly good relationship of most hot-bedders with their landlord, just under one in three agreed that if they \u201ccomplain about the standards of the property and maintenance problems [they] might be asked to leave\u201d.<\/p>\n

Although maintenance did not seem to be a major issue, just under four in ten hot-bedders agreed they were concerned the rent might be increased if they did ask for repairs. And 38% were anxious they \u201cmight be told to leave [their] property and be given a short time to leave\u201d.<\/p>\n

When asked, \u201cIn the last year, have you ever felt that you could become homeless?\u201d, 37% answered yes. This compares to 17% of non-hot-bedders.<\/p>\n

Just under four in ten hot-bedders agreed or strongly agreed that \u201cstress around the possibility of losing my accommodation is affecting my academic studies\u201d.<\/p>\n

What is their employment status?<\/strong><\/h4>\n

Half of the students who hot-bed had paid work at the time of the survey and of those employed 48% reported that their landlord employed them, compared to 17% of the other students in paid work.<\/p>\n

A large proportion felt they were poorly paid and their job was insecure. Less than half of the hot-bedders felt they were well-paid. Only one in four disagreed with the statement, \u201cMy current job is insecure.\u201d<\/p>\n

Just over eight in ten said losing their job would cause them financial difficulties.<\/p>\n

Financial stress is widespread<\/strong><\/h4>\n

The chart below shows eight measures of financial stress adapted from the Australia Bureau of Statistics. We added an item on affordability of textbooks.<\/p>\n

\"\"

Author Provided<\/p><\/div>\n

On every measure students who hot-bed were two to three times more likely to have answered yes to the question, indicating financial stress. Perhaps the most alarming statistic is that 39% of hot-bedders went without meals. So did 20% of non-hot-bedders.<\/p>\n

One in ten hot-bedders suffered from all eight indicators of financial stress. A worrying 34% of hot-bedders reported five or more indicators of financial stress. Only 9% of non-hot-bedders reported five stress indicators. Less than one in 100 endured all eight.<\/p>\n
