anyone finding it hard to get a rental property in sydney these days?

We are a young couple with one child.
My husband has a stable Business and also works for a company.
I am a childcare worker on maternity leave going back to work next year sometime.
We have been looking for a villa or townhouse 2 bedroom for many months now applied for a few been REFUSED ! by law they aren’t obliged to tell you why.! (the agent)
We are looking in the sydney area not being picky at all!! in suburbs far from the city and close.
Its like an auction more than anything ,people show up at these open houses and offer more for the rental property than advertised ,use bribery to get it as well sadly most agents accept!!!
It isn’t fair to people like us who go to an inspection based on the price advertised and quality of the property and get knocked back because someone offered extra $20 or so!!
ANYONE ELSE HAVING PROBLEMS FINDING A HOME FOR RENT IN SYDNEY AUSTRALIA??

I think its happening everywhere, Yet the news i heard the other day (in WA) that there is an all time high of rentals avaliable.

Yea right!!!
Maybe for people in their 30′s with 2 kids maybe.

My hubby and i have two dogs and we only need something short term but we cant find anything because well im guessing we are young and have dogs, its such a pain in the bum because well we cant find anywhere at all, even though we both have full time jobs, fantastic references from other rentals and also from work.
On average my hubby and i earn between us over $120,000 per year but that doesnt matter to the landlords so i know its our age and the dogs that is stopping us to get a house.

Even private people dont want to touch us either!!

so its not just syd, its over here in perth also.
