Rental needed
Hello all,
My wife and I are an English couple resident in NZ and living in Nelson. In semi retirement, we are both artists, and are about to lose our rental following its sale by the owners. We are seeking a 4? bed roomed (lots of books) property with large garaging or outbuildings (for using as a studio). We (probably optimistically) don't want to spend more than $450 a week and need to move by mid to late November. We have no pets and are non smokers, are very reliable, well educated and trustworthy. We would be happy to house sit or undertake some responsibilities to compensate for a lower rent. We are both chronic animal lovers (more dogs than cats) and hope to find somewhere that we can indulge our passion for gardening within easy reach of Nelson preferably but not essential. Currently with Haven Property Managers and have great references.
Poll: Should the government levy industries that contribute to financial hardship?
As reported in the Post, there’s a $30 million funding gap in financial mentoring. This has led to services closing and mentors stepping in unpaid just to keep helping people in need 🪙💰🪙
One proposed solution? Small levies on industries that profit from financial hardship — like banks, casinos, and similar companies.
So we want to hear what you think:
Should the government ask these industries to contribute?
-
59.8% Yes, supporting people is important!
-
25.8% No, individuals should take responsibility
-
14.4% ... It is complicated
