Advice on tenants moving properties during COVID-19 lockdown
New Zealand is now in a nationwide level 4 lockdown.
The level 4 alert rules are designed to reduce movement between properties wherever possible. Tenants retain their existing rights under the Residential Tenancies Act and may still be able to move into a new rental property if they need to but must follow Ministry of Health guidelines and follow the Alert System rules when moving.
“Tenants can only move in a private vehicle with only members of their own household. They cannot hire a moving service during this time.”

I hope this helps and if you have any questions or need rental advice please call Andrew on 0274888933
Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?
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)
.
