Poll: Did your rent rise significantly after rents were unfrozen on September 25?

Caryn Wilkinson Reporter from Community News

Hi Aucklanders,

Rents shot up around the country when last year’s rent freeze was lifted, including the largest monthly rent increase in recorded history.

Across the country, average rents rose 11 per cent between when rents were unfrozen on September 25 and the end of 2020.

Has this affected you in Auckland?

Scam Alert: Bank cold calls

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

ASB is warning customers about reports of cold calls from scammers claiming to be from ASB. These scammers are trying to obtain personal information, including usernames, dates of birth, and verification codes sent to your mobile phone.

🛡️ The "Caller Check" Test
If you get a call from someone claiming to be from ASB and you’re unsure, just ask them for a Caller Check. You will then be able to verify the call through the app.

Remember, banks will:​​
❌ Never ask for your banking passwords, PINs, or verification codes​​
❌ Never need to know your full credit card number – especially the CVC
❌ Never ask you to download software or remotely access your device​​
❌ Never ask you to purchase gift cards or transfer funds.

If you have received a phone call and think your account has been compromised, call ASB on 0800 ASB FRAUD (0800 272 372), or visit your local branch.
