Apartment renters deserve compliant housing - Press release

CCRG from Auckland City Centre Residents' Group - CCRG

Trade me “comfortable profiting from a human rights crisis” according to community organisations.

CCRG joined 11 other community group demanding Trade Me takes further steps to stop illegal properties being listed.
40,000 would-be tenants view their rental listings each day.

For this reason, Trade Me ought to support the visibility of the Healthy Homes Standards and encourage compliance with the
Residential Tenancies Act on their platform.

We are disappointed by the lack of leadership taken by Trade Me in regards to rental property listings and have signed an open letter in solidarity with 11 other organisations calling for change.

Renting is an integral & critical part of city centre living - everyone deserves liveable and compliant apartments.

We support the call for:
Trade Me to require that landlords and property managers state in their listings whether a property complies with the Residential Tenancies Act and Healthy Homes Standards.
Trade Me to ban advertising by landlords and property managers who repeatedly breach standards or are reported to the ‘Community Watch’ team.

Poll: Should all neighbours have to contribute to improvements?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

An Auckland court has ruled a woman doesn’t have to contribute towards the cost of fixing a driveway she shares with 10 neighbours.

When thinking about fences, driveways or tree felling, for example, do you think all neighbours should have to pay if the improvements directly benefit them?
