1/2 bedroom house to rent in the heart of Newtown

The house was originally advertised as a 1 bedroom with a big lounge but as you can see we made it a 2 bedroom and its been really comfortable.

The bathroom was brand new when I moved in and the house has always been well maintained. It's completely insulated and has brand new smoke alarms. The landlord owns several properties on the block and has invested a lot of time and money into these homes.

I've lived here with my son for the past year and while we've loved our little home I've finally had to admit I can't afford it anymore on my own.

We've already found a new home so move in date is negotiable.

Text/phone for a viewing - 0277780406

Price: $420

How high are your power bills this winter?

Jo Haywood Reporter from Homed

Hey neighbours, It's been a long hard winter and for many, power bills have been going through the roof. Have you been affected?

We're looking into ways we can all keep these costs down for a story on Homed and would love to hear from you if you have particularly large or small bills.… View more
Hey neighbours, It's been a long hard winter and for many, power bills have been going through the roof. Have you been affected?

We're looking into ways we can all keep these costs down for a story on Homed and would love to hear from you if you have particularly large or small bills.

Do your power bills come in way higher than your friends and family? Do you know why, or does the amount always take you by surprise? Maybe, like the family who created an effective solar panel heater out of drink cans, or the blogger who enjoys free power generated by a converted washing machine, you've found a creative way to minimise your bills. If so, how do you do it?

Whether your bills are high and you're looking for ways to reduce them, or you have some secrets to low power bills that you're willing to share, we'd love to hear from you. Leave a message in the comments, or email homed@stuff.co.nz.

The move comes after much public debate on the appropriateness of firearms being brought into schools, including when soldiers taught children as young as nine how to assemble and shoot assault rifles at a leadership exercise in Palmerston North last year. However students can still use firearms as part of shooting clubs and competitions. Click here to read the full article and guidelines.

So what do you think of the new rules? Are you for or against them?
