Move

Julia from Avondale

Hi
After this latest storm i need to move my family. We rent. The house is two story. We have had a leak come in the lower floor room twice now. It's a old house and there has been wooden slats/boards put on top of concrete and the water is coming under them. Its starting to move further into our room. I came home from shopping on Friday to find water in our room and leaking water from the top floor. Carpet saturated again. Our property manager doesn't take any of this seriously and i have had enough. We can't really stay here because our dad is in a wheel chair and is being cared for at home with us. So for his sake we need to move. But unfortunately it needs to be into a home that has two living quarters for the two families that like to stay together to help care for him. Please if anyone has such a place in central Auckland that would suit especially the blockhouse bay /hills borough area we will be stoked.
We are good paying tenants and just want somewhere warm and dry. We have a dog and a old grumpy cat but we love her. Catch me anytime.
Julia - Plus thanks everyone for the feed back on the water rates seems water is on all our minds at the moment take.

Poll: Should all neighbours have to contribute to improvements?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

An Auckland court has ruled a woman doesn’t have to contribute towards the cost of fixing a driveway she shares with 10 neighbours.

When thinking about fences, driveways or tree felling, for example, do you think all neighbours should have to pay if the improvements directly benefit them?
