Poll: Do we need to improve conditions for tenants?

Amy Ridout Reporter from The Nelson Mail

The government is asking for submissions on proposed changes to the Residential Tenancies Act.

This includes limiting rent rises to once a year, limiting "rental bidding", looking at changing regulations around pets and home alterations, and increasing the amount of notice a landlord needs to end a tenancy to 90 days.

More information here: www.hud.govt.nz...

We would like to speak with people currently renting a home, as well as landlords, about their experiences renting or letting, and their thoughts on the proposed changes for a Stuff story.

Do we need to improve conditions for tenants?
  • 56.5% Yes. Tenants need more rights and greater rental security.

FOUND BLACK RABBIT

Louise from Nelson South

In the Franklyn village back car park phone Louise 0276025945 probably some poor wee girls Christmas present. I have left out some lettuce and carrots and cucumber in 2 different spots so she doesn’t starve overnight and alerted the SPCA. She or he may need to be trapped. Until we sort this out you can count on me to keep her well fed.
Text or phone Louise 0276025945 or louisemarychaney1@gmail.com or email Ian found her and told me.
