Finding a rental

Daniel from Aro Valley

Hi Neighbours
Hope everyone is doing well and enjoying this balmy Autumn. Our lovely flat has been living on Abel Smith St for the past 4 years and unfortunately the winds of change are coming, we've been informed of a possible sale by our landlord and may well have to find new accommodation. We are two couples and a single, looking for a 3 bedroom house in the sort of general vicinity of Aro/Northland/Kelburn (although we are very easy ultimately and cant be picky). We are all hardworking creative types, with many a project on the go. Ideally we'd like a place to make our own and fill with love. And a landlord who wants to feel like their property is in good hands and they are providing a real home environment to provide us with the energy and stability we all want so that we can pursue our art, music and writing. I am aware of the current rental climate and understand that its a long shot, but here I am, attempting to circumvent the negative feelings surrounding the property market to appeal directly to you. Ask and ye shall receive and I am asking. Neighbours, please, do us a solid, if you know of anyone at all or a house that might fit the bill then please let me know. If you felt like copying this post to reach beautiful Wellingtonians further afield, that would be greatly appreciated. We would love to remove the stress of finding a house from our life and carry on making Wellington a better place to live with our love and presence. My number is 0220800645 or danielwb14@gmail.com works too. Much Love from Daniel, Felix, Mattea, Ellen & Andrew

Scam Alert: Bank cold calls

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

ASB is warning customers about reports of cold calls from scammers claiming to be from ASB. These scammers are trying to obtain personal information, including usernames, dates of birth, and verification codes sent to your mobile phone.

๐Ÿ›ก๏ธ The "Caller Check" Test
If you get a call from someone claiming to be from ASB and youโ€™re unsure, just ask them for a Caller Check. You will then be able to verify the call through the app.

Remember, banks will:โ€‹โ€‹
โŒ Never ask for your banking passwords, PINs, or verification codesโ€‹โ€‹
โŒ Never need to know your full credit card number โ€“ especially the CVC
โŒ Never ask you to download software or remotely access your deviceโ€‹โ€‹
โŒ Never ask you to purchase gift cards or transfer funds.

If you have received a phone call and think your account has been compromised, call ASB on 0800 ASB FRAUD (0800 272 372), or visit your local branch.

Poll: If we want to reduce speeding, what do you think actually changes driver behaviour? ๐Ÿ›ป๐Ÿšจ๐Ÿš“

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

In the Post's article on speeding penalties, the question is asked whether speeding fines are truly about road safety, or are they just a way to boost revenue for the Crown?

What do you think? Should speeding motorists receive speeding fines or demerit points?
