looking for 2 brm house for rent

Sally from Nawton

I am a semi retired single mature lady living with my furr babies looking for a 2 brm house for rent. I had back surgery 2 yrs ago and has long term limitation abilities as in standing,walking ,climbing up stairs and high risk of falls. I am living in a rental house for the last 8yrs and now the owners of the property has decided to sell the house.I was given notice to vacate the house by October. Based on my limitations in doing certain tasks and keeping my house a safe place , the house that I am looking for need to have the following requirements or design.
They are :
No stairs/No steps
One level
Shower (No shower in bath) I had several falls in the bath in the past
Low maintenance garden or courtyard
Single access internal garage- so will be easy for me to walk into the house in carrying laundry or shopping
Pets friendly as my cats are house trained and indoor cats (3)
I have always paid my rent on time over the years of living in rental property. I can still drive. I do my best to keep the house clean and I do get home help from the hospital once a week.
I am willing to pay $400 - $550 per week .
I don't have much time and need to move out by mid October.
Please if anyone knows of rental house with the above requirements or have house for rent, please contact me at

Poll: 🤖 What skills do you think give a CV the ultimate edge in a robot-filled workplace?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

The Reserve Bank has shared some pretty blunt advice: there’s no such thing as a “safe” job anymore 🛟😑

Robots are stepping into repetitive roles in factories, plants and warehouses. AI is taking care of the admin tasks that once filled many mid-level office jobs.

We want to know: As the world evolves, what skills do you think give a CV the ultimate edge in a robot-filled workplace?
