Rent increase changes for landlords

Andrew from Personal Property Management

Hi everyone, Andrew from Personal Property Management with an update on the new law change that has happened this month.
The new law states:
Landlords cannot increase the rent within the first 12 months of the tenancy starting, and then only once every 12 months.

Previously you could do this every 6 months.

Currently, due to COVID we are still in the government's freeze of any rent increase, but that will finish on September 25th, 2020.

So, if you are wanting to increase the rent at your property you can serve your 60-day notice now as long as it has been 12 months or more since your tenants moved in or the last increase.

If anyone needs help with understanding the new law or with any rental inquiries please feel free to call me on 0274888933

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.

Combining biking with bus travel

Sue from Brooklyn

Hi neighbours
Anyone out there who, like me, would love to bike more, but have difficulty getting their bike on the rack on the bus ? It's sometimes necessary, so as to avoid steep hills and roads where I don't feel safe.
Metlink say their drivers aren't meant to help.
