"EECA urges landlords to get in quickly while grants are available. ***$55.000 left for Northland*** It's first in, first served."
EECA subsidies of 50 per cent of the cost of insulation are available now until June 2018.
Smart Energy Solutions are one of the primary providers of subsidies throughout New Zealand. If you have a tenant with a Community Services Card we can apply for a 50% subsidy to insulate your rental home. Our trained staff can answer any questions you may have please ring 0800 888 766
EECA residential general manager Robert Linterman said the uptake of the subsidies for rentals had been relatively slow but changes to the Residential Tenancy Act would mean that by July 2019 all rental properties must have ceiling and underfloor insulation meeting a set standard.
The 2016 Budget allocated $18 million over two years to insulate 20,000 rental properties occupied by low-income tenants with a community services card, and those referred by the health sector with conditions related to cold, damp housing.

Poll: Do you think banning gang patches is reasonable?
With the government cracking down on gangs, it is now illegal for gang members to display their insignia in public places whether through clothing or their property.
This means arrests can be made if these patches are worn in places like restaurants, shops, on public transport or ferries, and on airplanes. Arrests were made recently at a funeral.

Poll: Should all neighbours have to contribute to improvements?
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?
