Room for rent in Raumati Beach
Medium sized room (2.7 x 2.7m) in a two-bedroom house on a large section in Raumati Beach. Sharing with one female, mid-30s (owner). The room can be unfurnished or furnished (single bed, chest of drawers).
On-street parking in a fairly quiet street.
$250/wk plus utilities (electricity, internet, and water). Bond = 4 weeks rent, plus 2 weeks rent up front. Looking for a six- to 12-month lease to start with but can then be longer-term if it's working for us both.
You'll be sharing with me (Stacey). I'm busy, work full-time (mostly in Wellington, with a day or two per week WFH). I'm boring in all the good ways.
I'm your ideal housemate if you value quiet, clean and tidy, zero drugs and no smoking (you must not be a smoker or drug taker). No pets either sorry, the place is already ruled by a beautiful black and white cat called Fu. You'll love him ^.^
If you're interested send me a message introducing yourself and explaining why you'd like to rent my room. Cheers, Stacey
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?

Live Q&A: Garden maintenance with Crewcut
This Wednesday, we're having another Neighbourly Q&A session. This time with John Bracewell from Crewcut.
John Bracewell, former Black Caps coach turned Franchisee Development Manager and currently the face of Crewcut’s #Movember campaign, knows a thing or two about keeping the grass looking sharp—whether it’s on a cricket pitch or in your backyard!
As a seasoned Crewcut franchisee, John is excited to answer your lawn and gardening questions. After years of perfecting the greens on the field, he's ready to share tips on how to knock your garden out of the park. Let's just say he’s as passionate about lush lawns as he is about a good game of cricket!
John is happy to answer questions about lawn mowing, tree/hedge trimming, tidying your garden, ride on mowing, you name it! He'll be online on Wednesday, 27th of November to answer them all.
