Property Owners , Landlords and Real Estate Agents your attention please!

Dave from Waiheke Island

Hi

I'm Dave and I am really hoping someone can help. I have a rental property in Ellerslie , nothing flash just 2 bdrm unit in block of 20 just by village shops. I have had the same tenant in the unit for coming on 10 years now . So Muriel moved into the unit while being 3 months pregnant. her son Roman arrived not long after . Muriel is a solo mum and is devoted to Roman. Muriel works just up the road as a teachers assistant and generally looks after any kids that have learning difficulties or have issues at home. she works hard but teachers pay doesn't make it easy for her. I have tried to help by only increasing rent once in the time she has been my tenant. But I was advised a year ago that the apartment block is leaky and work is starting soon. She will need to vacate from approx January 2021 for upto 6 months while the property is worked on. She really wants to come back once everything is complete which I am also very keen to happen but all the rentals i've seen are for 1 year fixed terms. Does anyone know of somewhere she can rent for around the 6 month term close to Ellerslie area?
Any help or advice would be fantastic. Just PM me here on neighbourly.
