Rental needed
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
