Season chronology

Crowded House Rules is the fourth season of Australian reality television series House Rules on the Seven Network. The series is produced by the team who created the Seven reality show My Kitchen Rules and is hosted by Johanna Griggs. The season began airing on 27 April 2016.[1]

Season 4 of the program was officially announced in 2014 and was originally due to air in late 2015,[2] however the Seven Network delayed the season until 2016 due to an overload of renovation shows that had aired in 2015 as well as lower than expected ratings for the third season.[3]

This season of House Rules will consist of new teams renovating each others homes and further challenges for the ultimate prize of a full mortgage payment.[4]

Contestant Teams

This season of House Rules introduced six new teams. All teams are from different states in Australia
