Renters: Have you ever been asked for your bank statements?

Robert Steven Reporter from Taupō Times

Property managers in Auckland have been asking for bank statements from people trying to get into rental homes.

NZ First MP Darroch Ball says:
“The vulnerable, poor, young and desperate are being forced into forgoing their privacy in order to have the chance to secure a property."

*** Has this happened to you in Taupō? What have you been asked for, if anything? How do you feel about it?

Got more greens than you know what to do with? 🥦🌱🥕

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

Whether it’s a courgette takeover or a feijoa frenzy, don’t let those garden gems go to waste!

Our suggestion to you: Did you know you can grate and freeze excess courgettes to use in chocolate cake later? It sounds a bit dodgy, but it makes the cake incredibly moist ... and hey, it counts as a serving of veg, right? 🍫
