Looking to rent a nice home

Jake from Island Bay

I am a young professional and currently running two businesses (travel agency, and garden+home maintenance and renovations) with a third in the pipelines.

I'm tired of renting places which are simply not worth my effort to restore to a decent level, and especially with flatmates that usually have very little care for the house and the mess they leave around.

I'm hoping to be able to find a nice property in which i can call home. I would like head tenancy so i have the ability to replace a flatmate that turns out to be unsuitable.
I have two parrots (An African Grey and a Rainbow Lorikeet) and would like to get another pet or two at some stage. I have a plethora of references that can confirm i leave places in better condition than when i arrive, even with various pets.

I'm posting on here with the hope that there will be someone that wants to rent their property out, but is worried about the hassle that can often come about from troublesome or careless renters.

Feel free to reach out with any questions or advice.

Kind regards,
Jake Finch.

Poll: Do you think banning gang patches is reasonable?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

With the government cracking down on gangs, it is now illegal for gang members to display their insignia in public places whether through clothing or their property.

This means arrests can be made if these patches are worn in places like restaurants, shops, on public transport or ferries, and on airplanes. Arrests were made recently at a funeral.

Do you think this ban is reasonable?
