TENANCY
"This is the second of a series of monthly posts. This one is about “Tenancy”.
According to a June 2022 Stats NZ report, 1 in 4 households that were renting, spent more than 40% of their disposable income on housing costs. For this reason, rent can significantly impact your household budget (refer our January "Budgeting" post).
