And now the nasty games beginšŸ šŸ˜ 

Fiona from Henderson

Can you actually believe this nastiness?
As the country prepares for a lockdown, property managers are telling tenants that they must pay rent or likely receive a 14-day notice.
The three shameful property managers named in the article are as follows:
Quinovic (Wellington) - no surprises Quinovic are involved.
Prestige Property Management Limited (Christchurch)
Propertyscouts (Hawke's Bay)
Surely, they could've resolved any issues before lockdown and not just as we are going into it.
Besides all of this, the legal time to give notice to vacate the premises for landlords is 90 days (Tennents is 21 days).
The minimum period for landlords is 42 days’ notice.
They cannot give notice for a fixed term tenancy.
This is absolutely disgraceful!😠

Poll: Should the government levy industries that contribute to financial hardship?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

As reported in the Post, there’s a $30 million funding gap in financial mentoring. This has led to services closing and mentors stepping in unpaid just to keep helping people in need šŸŖ™šŸ’°šŸŖ™

One proposed solution? Small levies on industries that profit from financial hardship — like banks, casinos, and similar companies.

So we want to hear what you think:
Should the government ask these industries to contribute?
