I need to ask people in this group to let me know the price they are paying for the following; 1 bedroom, 2 bedroom, 3 bedroom, 4 bedroom and if there are any rentals of more bedrooms. If you don’t feel comfortable commenting please message me. Other facts I would like to present are how long it took you to find a rental, had you been homeless, are still homeless or have recently become homeless. Does the rental have a property manager and do you know if it is the Property Manager or the owner who raises the rent? Often the Property Manager will say that the owner has asked for the increase but often the Property Manager puts it to the owner that they can get a higher rental as that is the going rate for rentals. By doing this the Property Manager can collect a higher rate for managing the property. Any other problems or issues would be good to present as well. I will only be giving the issues and no names will be mentioned. Please feel free to private message me with any other issues you may have

We are on site this morning with Wellington Fire and Emergency in Paraparaumu following a tornado that has impacted the area.
Here’s what you need to know:
• FENZ is managing this incident and is working to address immediate damage, with support from Council in the clean-up.
• Two properties in Aorangi Road have suffered significant damage and others in the area are also affected.
• Council is working to get in touch with affected residents and supporting them by organising temporary accommodation and any other welfare assistance they may need.
• There has been some damage to trees in localised parts of Paraparaumu and we have contractors onsite to remove them from roads and public property.
• Our priority is ensuring our roads are open and safe to use.
• The Council Emergency Operations Centre has not been activated but staff are continuing to monitor the situation and support for those badly affected.
• Power is out to Nikau Valley and parts of the area around Aorangi Road. Power companies are working to re-establish it as soon as possible.
• Trees are down but we can’t clear them until the areas are made safe from fallen power lines.
• Road access is down to one lane only.
• We ask the public to avoid the area
What to do if your house has been damaged:
• If you have incurred any damage, contact your insurance company.
• If you have damage to your roof call that is presenting an immediate or potential risk to yourself or neighbours, call FENZ for assistance.
• Call 111 in an emergency.
Tornados are weather events that are hard to plan for - it is hard to pick where the greatest risk might be and almost impossible to predict where a tornado might appear.
Here are some good tips that will help to keep you safe:
• If you see a tornado, seek shelter immediately.
• If you’re inside, stay away from doors and windows, and stay downstairs if you’re in a multi-storey building.
• For added protection, get under something sturdy, cover your body with a blanket or mattress and protect your head with your hands.
• If you’re outside, lay flat in a gully, ditch or low spot on the ground and protect your head with an object or your arms.
• If you’re in a car, pull over and shelter in a low spot (not under or near the car).
Stay safe, Kāpiti and call us on 0800 486 486 if you see anything that needs our attention.
