Single mum not suitable for Porirua rental
A single mother was turned away at the door, with her child in her arms, when she went to view a house, despite the property being listed as “suitable for two tenants”.
Te Maari Papara had arranged to view the one-bedroom house in Porirua and brought along her 1-year-old son, Kash.
“She [the property manager] just stared at me and told me to leave,” the 21-year-old mother said.
“It felt degrading.”The property manager told Papara that the house was only suitable for “professional singles or couples”. But the listing from Oxygen Property Management hadn’t mentioned that requirement – and still didn’t on Wednesday afternoon.
