Home to rent anytime in beginning of New Year!

Julia from Avondale

Hi everyone my family and i are probably not the only ones who have been given a early Christmas present. We have had a bomb dropped on us just before my birthday and Christmas. Thanks to the new government bringing back in the ninety day and your out.
Problem is the rental i have been in has reneged on fixing a leak since January of this year due to the storm etc. that made the place cold and damp to live in and ruining my carpet and furniture. No replacement or lowered rent. NOTHING.Property manager promised to get it done. But haven't. Now they want us out. After sending person after person to give quotes. I didn't mind that except the realty was never good and updating or talking to us??? I felt i had been patient so patient i didn't get the Tenancy Tribunal involved as i gave them the benefit of the doubt. I believe my Land Lord is an overseas owner. And has left things up to the Realty and its property managers. They are good people but don't do their job. They should be made to find us alternative accommodation and not get away with the fact that the Land Lord now wants to sell and leave me out of pocket and especially at Christmas. We have a person in a wheelchair and where the hell will we fine a place suitable. Social Housing is out. I felt a needed to grumble and get this off my chest. If anyone out there has a suitable accommodation for long term i will appreciate very much. And if anyone wants to volunteer to help us set up a give a little page to raise funds for this untimely move i would surely appreciate that too. By the way giving heads up I have a rescue dog named Lily and my old grumpy cat Tui and all in all five adults to house. Bless you all.

Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

The Australian Prime Minister has expressed plans to ban social media use for children.

This would make it illegal for under 16-year-olds to have accounts on platforms including TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and X.
Social media platforms would be tasked with ensuring children have no access (under-age children and their parents wouldn’t be penalised for breaching the age limit)
.
Do you think NZ should follow suit? Vote in our poll and share your thoughts below.
