Looking for 2 rentals
Hi there, we are a big family currently living together but our property is being sold and now we are looking for two properties next to each other or at least in the same street. We are one family of mum, dad and son and another of mum, dad and 2 kiddies. We have references from our current landlord (of over six years) and we wish to move anytime from March onwards (we have a periodic lease so can cancel our lease with 3 weeks notice). We wish to secure properties that are warm, insulated, have reasonable parking and off street parking for at least one work truck. We are not fussy but would prefer heatpump hearing or gas. Preferably close to good primary schools. We have secure employment and can provide payslips. Please contact us on claudiasch@xtra.co.nz or 0276403939 - please only genuine offers. Rents up to $440 per week preferably Burnside, Avonhead, Ilam, Fendalton, Bryndwr, Bishopdale but other areas considered if suitable

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)
