Looking for somewhere to live

Wendy from Remuera

A couple who have lost their home in Mt Eden area due to flooding are looking for a rental preferably in Mt Eden/Epsom area so their 8yr old daughter can still attend the same school. They also have a cat.
They are currently staying with very kind neighbours but of course this is only temporary.

A couple who have lost their home in Mt Eden area due to flooding are looking for a rental preferably in Mt Eden/Epsom area so their 8yr old daughter can still attend the same school. They also have a cat.
They are currently staying with very kind neighbours but of course this is only temporary.
It will take sometime for the insurance to be sorted and find another house to buy.
They realise there will be a number of people in the same situation however if you know of anyone who may have suitable accommodation who are happy to accept a pet can you please let me know.
Jenny & Chris would be very appreciative.
Perhaps now is the time for ghost house owners to put those houses into the rental market to help all the displaced Aucklanders ......

An Auckland family who had to swim to safety have lost all personal belongings in Friday’s flood and the heavy rain which followed on Tuesday – including their recently renovated home.

Catherine Beggs​, 65, and her family have survived three Auckland floods in 10 months – but the same can’t be said for her Mt Roskill home.

“The house flooded in March last year. Water came up underneath the house, and down the roof. I ended up having to buy a new roof,” Beggs said.
