Increasing rents
With rents skyrocketing all over NZ, surely there has come a time for people, as a whole to say ENOUGH.
There is no need for the greed that is being seen in the obscene amounts being asked for by owners of these homes; $500-600 for a 3 bedroom average home here in Hamilton.
There is no way that anybody has a need to charge this amount, a product of supply and demand I hear people say. What? So we are short of available housing for our people, so that gives Landlords/ladies a right to increase their rent.
THATS GREED FOLKS, PURE AND UTTER GREED
As Mark Twain famously said "It is curious — curious that physical courage should be so common in the world, and moral courage so rare."
Take a stand today, demand from those able to have houses to rent out; that they charge a fair rent, rather than an inflated rent, a rent that they would be able to pay if they had two kids, one partner working in a modest job.....walk in that persons moccasins and do what's morally courageous.

Poll: Should all neighbours have to contribute to improvements?
An Auckland court has ruled a woman doesn’t have to contribute towards the cost of fixing a driveway she shares with 10 neighbours.
When thinking about fences, driveways or tree felling, for example, do you think all neighbours should have to pay if the improvements directly benefit them?
