Rentals
Hi
I went to view a rental that my family and i were excited to see on the weekend. Oh lordy! what a disappointment. When will they stop advertising properties that don't live up to the picture that they are portraying and show it in its real time state, warts and all??? I thought that there was a consumers protection act around false advertising??? I might be wrong. If this continues then the tenant should be able to ask for reduction in rent. Why? Because they in some cases are charged with cleaning the place up before they can even place their most treasured belongings in the home. The owners should be ashamed. I know no one will turn up if they showed warts and all. Well I think it's time for change. People are desperate, but come on, if you are getting good money from your tenants you have to lead by example. Those owners who make an effort deserve a medal. They aren't trying to hide anything. Their rent is also cheaper than the ones that don't make an effort. There are people out there who are only too happy to go and clean your property for you. Just make someones day and present your properties as if you are going to sell it. ( Hey, actually you are trying to do that in a way just to a tenant instead to rent).
What do you think renters? It's time for the korero.
⚠️ DOGS DIE IN HOT CARS. If you love them, don't leave them. ⚠️
It's a message we share time and time again, and this year, we're calling on you to help us spread that message further.
Did you know that calls to SPCA about dogs left inside hot cars made up a whopping 11% of all welfare calls last summer? This is a completely preventable issue, and one which is causing hundreds of dogs (often loved pets) to suffer.
Here are some quick facts to share with the dog owners in your life:
👉 The temperature inside a car can heat to over 50°C in less than 15 minutes.
👉 Parking in the shade and cracking windows does little to help on a warm day. Dogs rely on panting to keep cool, which they can't do in a hot car.
👉 This puts dogs at a high risk of heatstroke - a serious condition for dogs, with a mortality rate between 39%-50%.
👉 It is an offence under the Animal Welfare Act to leave a dog in a hot vehicle if they are showing signs of heat stress. You can be fined, and prosecuted.
SPCA has created downloadable resources to help you spread the message even further. Posters, a flyer, and a social media tile can be downloaded from our website here: www.spca.nz...
We encourage you to use these - and ask your local businesses to display the posters if they can. Flyers can be kept in your car and handed out as needed.
This is a community problem, and one we cannot solve alone. Help us to prevent more tragedies this summer by sharing this post.
On behalf of the animals - thank you ❤️
