If you have a problem with your neighbour's dog or trees or noise, or anything else that is annoying you, you may report it to the Council and your neighbour will get a letter in the mail requiring action. Your neighbour will read the letter, but it may not be specific enough for them to know what needs to be done and it may take a long time for the problem to be solved. It is better to go and see your neighbour first and courteously discuss the issue with them. Usually the neighbour will cooperate and will be on good terms with you. But if they do object to the issue you have raised, then you may report the problem to the council and the council will make sure your neighbour will comply. But If you want to be on good terms with your neighbours, it pays to go over and have a chat to them first. If you have never met them this would be a good opportunity to introduce yourself. Being a good neighbour means a happy neighborhood.

1. This manager allowed the tenant to run up 5 weeks of rent arrears before notifying the landlord.
2. When the landlord suspected meth use, and called him to investigate, he rang the tenant to confirm !

I'd like to offer my services as a Professional Organiser to those too busy, or stretched with the task that just never seems to get done. Specialising in sorting and decluttering, or returning home and need fresh eyes as to what goes where? From art installation to pantry spring clearing, I relish getting stuck in and helping those that won't get around to it. Working with care and respect, looking at tasks from your perspective is often helpful when you're too close to the issue or person who needs assistance.

Is your neighbour’s behaviour driving you crazy? Before you start a neighbourhood war, put your diplomat’s hat on and have a nice talk with them.
“When it comes to problems with neighbours, a touch of diplomacy can go a long way.” says Neil Lancaster of Citizens Advice Bureau. … View moreIs your neighbour’s behaviour driving you crazy? Before you start a neighbourhood war, put your diplomat’s hat on and have a nice talk with them.
“When it comes to problems with neighbours, a touch of diplomacy can go a long way.” says Neil Lancaster of Citizens Advice Bureau. “Whether you’re being kept awake every night by noisy neighbourhood parties, their tree is blocking your sun, or the dog from next door uses your lawn as a toilet – it’s always best to discuss the problem with your neighbour first and try to come to a compromise. They may not even know there’s a problem, and be quite willing to sort it out. When we see people with “problem neighbours”, we usually ask whether they’ve tried talking to them. If they have and it hasn’t been successful, we can help them work out where they stand with their particular situation and what their options are.”
If you’ve tried negotiating with your neighbour and they won’t budge, you may have to consider taking further action – and you’ll need to know what your rights are if you do. For example, when it comes to neighbourhood noise, you can contact your local council to find out what (if any) noise restrictions apply in your area. If you complain to your local council they can send a noise control officer to assess the situation. They can issue a notice asking the neighbour to reduce the noise if it’s deemed excessive or unreasonable, and non-compliance could result in confiscation of the noise-making equipment (such as a stereo or jackhammer).
Similarly, if you are bothered by constant barking from a neighbour’s dog, you can complain to your council and they can send a dog control officer to investigate. But try to work it out with the dog owner first, because drastic action (such as having the dog removed by a dog control officer) is sure to ruin any goodwill that you might have with your neighbours.
“If you have a problem with something that your neighbour is doing, and you haven’t been able to sort it out by talking to them, come and see us at Ara (CPIT), Fendalton Library and Hornby Library. You could also phone us for free from cell phone on 0800 367 222, or send us an email. We also have information about neighbourhood problems on our website www.cab.org.nz...

Why Should You Upgrade To LED Downlights?
There are three simple reasons
1. They use lots less power than other downlights for the same amount of light
2. They are available in sealed units which means all that heat from your heat pump or fire doesn’t sneak into the ceiling through the gaps … View moreWhy Should You Upgrade To LED Downlights?
There are three simple reasons
1. They use lots less power than other downlights for the same amount of light
2. They are available in sealed units which means all that heat from your heat pump or fire doesn’t sneak into the ceiling through the gaps in the downlight
3. You can cover them in ceiling insulation quite safely if they are designed for this and they run at much cooler temperatures, which keeps the house much warmer
LED downlights come in a variety of sizes so it’s easy to replace older technology downlights with modern efficient LED ones. Contact us today on 03 371 7434 to find out about replacing your old downlights with new ones.
