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?
