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.

⚠️ DOGS DIE IN HOT CARS. If you love them, don't leave them. ⚠️

The Team from SPCA New Zealand

It's a message we share time and time again, and this year, we're calling on you to help us spread that message further.
Did you know that calls to SPCA about dogs left inside hot cars made up a whopping 11% of all welfare calls last summer? This is a completely preventable issue, and one which is causing hundreds of dogs (often loved pets) to suffer.
Here are some quick facts to share with the dog owners in your life:

👉 The temperature inside a car can heat to over 50°C in less than 15 minutes.
👉 Parking in the shade and cracking windows does little to help on a warm day. Dogs rely on panting to keep cool, which they can't do in a hot car.
👉 This puts dogs at a high risk of heatstroke - a serious condition for dogs, with a mortality rate between 39%-50%.
👉 It is an offence under the Animal Welfare Act to leave a dog in a hot vehicle if they are showing signs of heat stress. You can be fined, and prosecuted.
SPCA has created downloadable resources to help you spread the message even further. Posters, a flyer, and a social media tile can be downloaded from our website here: www.spca.nz...
We encourage you to use these - and ask your local businesses to display the posters if they can. Flyers can be kept in your car and handed out as needed.
This is a community problem, and one we cannot solve alone. Help us to prevent more tragedies this summer by sharing this post.
On behalf of the animals - thank you ❤️
