Families struggling with homelessness have resorted to breaking into holiday houses to take baths and catch up on sleep as spiralling rent and lack of housing forces them to take extreme measures.
Recent CCTV video showed a young family breaking into an Airbnb property near Perth on June 20 with the mum caught on camera leading a boy and a toddler into the home.
Holiday Homes Made Easy property manager Davinia Gillard told Daily Mail Australia that she thought the main motivation for the break-in had just been to have 'somewhere to stay'.
'I think it's just really sad to see that there was a small child, a baby or toddler, out at midnight walking into a house to get five hours sleep and then leaving,' Ms Gillard said.
'Especially with the weather we've been having lately. It's been really wet.'
CCTV footage emerged of a group who are suspected of being serial holiday house hoppers entering a vacant property near midnight with two small children for a five-hour stay
