Poll: Did your rent rise significantly after rents were unfrozen on September 25?

Caryn Wilkinson Reporter from Community News

Hi Aucklanders,

Rents shot up around the country when last year’s rent freeze was lifted, including the largest monthly rent increase in recorded history.

Across the country, average rents rose 11 per cent between when rents were unfrozen on September 25 and the end of 2020.

Has this affected you in Auckland?

The Doctors Sunset

A CVDRA is a simple check that helps estimate your risk of having a heart attack or stroke in the next 5 years. Even if you feel well, heart disease can develop silently so checking your risk early is key.

During your appointment, our Nurse will:

✔️ Discuss your medical and family history
✔️ Talk about lifestyle factors such as smoking, diet, and exercise
✔️ Calculate your individual heart risk score
✔️ Offer free support with our Health Coach who can help implement lifestyle changes to reduce your risk.

This assessment helps us work together to keep your heart healthy and prevent future problems.

📩 If you receive a recall from us, please book in it’s quick, straightforward, and could make a big difference to your long-term health.
