The fourth season of Australian reality television series House Rules, also known as Crowded House Rules, began airing on 27 April 2016.[1] The series is produced by the team who created the Seven reality show My Kitchen Rules and is hosted by Johanna Griggs.
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 other's homes and further challenges for the ultimate prize of their mortgage being paid off.[4]
This season of House Rules introduced six new teams. All teams are from different states in Australia

The six teams travel around the country to completely renovate each other's home. Every week, one team hands over their house to their opponents for a complete interior transformation. A set of rules from the owners are given to the teams known as the 'House rules' which need to be followed to gain high scores from the judges and the homeowner team.

The top 4 teams are challenged to transform the exteriors and gardens of each other's homes. Two teams are allocated to a home (that do not belong to them) and must renovate either the front or back yards, as well as improving the house exterior. They are held over two rounds, covering all houses of the current teams. After both rounds are complete, the lowest scoring team is eliminated.
