Looking for long term accommodation

Donna from Otaki District

21 days ago I posted looking for accommodation. I have looked at heaps of places and have always been the unsuccessful applicant. So now I am starting to panic at finding a place to live.
I now have three weeks left to find a place otherwise I am going to be homeless. I am a single lady 65 yrs of age non-smoker, don’t drink and very quiet with a disability. I use a walking frame and mobility scooter locally and have a car to travel further, so need somewhere dry to keep the scooter. I would love to be in a rental long term, 2+ bedrooms is preferred for grandchildren who stay on weekends. I am currently in Otaki but anywhere in Kapiti would be terrific to stay near family. Hope there is a suitable place out there. Keen to look at all possibilities. Many thanks

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.
