Apartment renters deserve compliant housing - Press release
Trade me “comfortable profiting from a human rights crisis” according to community organisations.
CCRG joined 11 other community group demanding Trade Me takes further steps to stop illegal properties being listed.
40,000 would-be tenants view their rental listings each day.
For this reason, Trade Me ought to support the visibility of the Healthy Homes Standards and encourage compliance with the
Residential Tenancies Act on their platform.
We are disappointed by the lack of leadership taken by Trade Me in regards to rental property listings and have signed an open letter in solidarity with 11 other organisations calling for change.
Renting is an integral & critical part of city centre living - everyone deserves liveable and compliant apartments.
We support the call for:
Trade Me to require that landlords and property managers state in their listings whether a property complies with the Residential Tenancies Act and Healthy Homes Standards.
Trade Me to ban advertising by landlords and property managers who repeatedly breach standards or are reported to the ‘Community Watch’ team.

Poll: Should we ditch daylight saving? 🕰️
First introduced in New Zealand in 1927 with the passing of the Summer Time Act, it's what we know as 'Daylight Saving' and this year it ends on the first Sunday in April.
While we do get to sleep in this time around, some people would like to scrap the clock tinkering for good.
And why? Some evidence suggests the time changes are bad for our health as they mess with sleep patterns leading to short-term fatigue and affecting mood. Meanwhile the hour change is frustrating for farmers and a nightmare for getting the littlies to sleep. But what's your take?
-
41.5% Yes - get rid of the clock changes
-
56.9% No, I enjoy it
-
1.7% Other - I'll share below
