Unfortunately I found myself in the same situation as hundreds of kiwis and I need to move out from my current rental.(apparently landlord is moving in)
I'm after 4 bedrooms, 2 bthms and double garage place in howick and surrounding suburbs
The only problem is I actually need a big garden not because of pets or children but because of my huge passion for gardening.
I've been in my current rental for 4.5 yrs,have great references,painted all the bedrooms,bought new curtains, paid for green bin every mth as I was maintaining their(mine) huge garden,installed 5 raised beds and put greenhouse on so I can have my own vegetables most of the year and where I start my seedlings which in turn I sell every second Saturday at Howick market.
If you know of anyone that is planning to rent their house in near future please let me know
I'm on Trade Me every day but most properties have either very small section or concrete around them
Thanks for reading

Please follow our top tips to reduce the risk of mail theft:
✉️ Clear your letterbox in a timely manner
✉️ Put a hold on your mail delivery if you’re going away
✉️ Provide clear delivery instructions for couriers to leave a package safely hidden or secured within your property
✉️ Install security cameras and/or security camera messaging near your letterbox or front of property
✉️ Where practical, consider click and collect over delivery
✉️ Send parcels to a work address or ensuring you're home when they arrive
✉️ Contact Police (111 for immediate issues or 105 if it is after the fact) if you see people loitering around vehicles or looking into car windows
✉️ Engage in neighbourhood groups so more people can keep an eye out for suspicious activity

These tips are being shared after a 44-year-old woman will appear in Pukekohe District Court on 28 March charged with theft.
An alleged mail thief in the Pukekohe area has hand-delivered herself into Police, following assistance from the community.
Counties Manukau South Senior Sergeant MJ Riddle says Police were aware of locals discussing a mail theft on social media. A report was made to Police at the time in January and had included enough detail including CCTV footage and a vehicle of interest. Following Police enquiries, the woman has brought herself into the Pukekohe Police Station a few days later

“This is a great result for the community and a timely reminder to the public to continue reporting any thefts from letterboxes.”
Senior Sergeant Riddle says
“Our community should be able to receive parcels and mail without concern of interference but unfortunately there are people in our communities who take advantage of opportunities to commit thefts from mail boxes and front porches."

“We encourage anyone who has been the victim of dishonesty offending to report it as soon as possible,” she says."
