Public Meeting: Renting - Getting It Right
On Tuesday 9 October at 7pm, I am hosting a Public Meeting with the Minister of Housing, Phil Twyford, on the proposed changes to the Residential Tenancies Act 1986 (the RTA). The RTA is the main piece of legislation that regulates interactions between landlords and tenants. I invite you to come along to discuss:
• The government’s intention to make life better for people renting a home.
• How to ensure people renting are being treated fairly, are able to stay in their communities without being moved on unfairly, and have fair rent reviews.
• The updating of our antiquated tenancy laws, which don’t reflect the fact that renting is now a long-term reality for many of our families.
• How a lack of tenure is particularly tough on children whose education suffers when they have to keep changing schools.
• Our commitment to striking a balance between providing tenants with security of tenure and allowing them to make their house a home while protecting the rights and interests of landlords.
We will also have submission forms to help you make a written submission on the proposed changes. To read more, or make an online submission go to: www.hud.govt.nz...
