Home to rent anytime in beginning of New Year!
Hi everyone my family and i are probably not the only ones who have been given a early Christmas present. We have had a bomb dropped on us just before my birthday and Christmas. Thanks to the new government bringing back in the ninety day and your out.
Problem is the rental i have been in has reneged on fixing a leak since January of this year due to the storm etc. that made the place cold and damp to live in and ruining my carpet and furniture. No replacement or lowered rent. NOTHING.Property manager promised to get it done. But haven't. Now they want us out. After sending person after person to give quotes. I didn't mind that except the realty was never good and updating or talking to us??? I felt i had been patient so patient i didn't get the Tenancy Tribunal involved as i gave them the benefit of the doubt. I believe my Land Lord is an overseas owner. And has left things up to the Realty and its property managers. They are good people but don't do their job. They should be made to find us alternative accommodation and not get away with the fact that the Land Lord now wants to sell and leave me out of pocket and especially at Christmas. We have a person in a wheelchair and where the hell will we fine a place suitable. Social Housing is out. I felt a needed to grumble and get this off my chest. If anyone out there has a suitable accommodation for long term i will appreciate very much. And if anyone wants to volunteer to help us set up a give a little page to raise funds for this untimely move i would surely appreciate that too. By the way giving heads up I have a rescue dog named Lily and my old grumpy cat Tui and all in all five adults to house. Bless you all.

Even Australians get it - so why not Kiwis???
“Ten years ago, if a heatwave as intense as last week’s record-breaker had hit the east coast, Australia’s power supply may well have buckled. But this time, the system largely operated as we needed, despite some outages.
On Australia’s main grid last quarter, renewables and energy storage contributed more than 50% of supplied electricity for the first time, while wholesale power prices were more than 40% lower than a year earlier.
[…] shifting demand from gas and coal for power and petrol for cars is likely to deliver significantly lower energy bills for households.
Last quarter, wind generation was up almost 30%, grid solar 15% and grid-scale batteries almost tripled their output. Gas generation fell 27% to its lowest level for a quarter century, while coal fell 4.6% to its lowest quarterly level ever.
Gas has long been the most expensive way to produce power. Gas peaking plants tend to fire up only when supply struggles to meet demand and power prices soar. Less demand for gas has flowed through to lower wholesale prices.”

If even Australians see the benefit of solar - then why is NZ actively boycotting solar uptake? The increased line rental for electricity was done to make solar less competitive and prevent cost per kWh to rise even more than it did - and electricity costs are expected to rise even more. Especially as National favours gas - which is the most expensive form of generating electricity. Which in turn will accelerate Climate Change, as if New Zealand didn’t have enough problems with droughts, floods, slips, etc. already.
Dry cleaners mt Roskill
Hello our fellow neighbors I was hoping someone would know where the old dry cleaners we had up at the lights on dominion road have moved to?? I was out of town and when I came back they were gone .... I had some items that I would really love to get back but if only I new where they moved to or how to get In Touch with the owners to see what they did with our clothes if they closed down or moved elsewhere? Any updates or news about it would be amazing neighbors. Have a great day
