| 5 | The woman in the headline - why doesn't she move? Or take the landlord to the Tenancy Tribunal? If the issue is affordability, there is a lot of help available from the government - bond, Accommodation Supplement, TAS, emergency grants. Maybe some other reason? Did the journalist ask? Maybe she did and the answer did not fit the article. artemis - 2021-09-12 13:25:00 |
| 6 | Ridiculous... no point getting a heater because there are holes and high ceilings. Just like my bedroom at my farm that I heat with a heater and it gets so hot I have to turn it off some nights. Some people are just too busy moaning. Fill the holes, dry out the mould... bryalea - 2021-09-12 14:47:00 |

It's not all like that. I'm in a trust that has 4 rental flats all together on one piece of land, we don't charge market rent and the longest tenant is knocking on 12 yrs with us. ... The shortest is coming up 4 yrs. ''Sadly if we decided to sell, which we are not, these people would have know where to go, and could never afford to rent a similar property, as some of our people are on pensions. We worked it out we could add $100 on a week and they would still be below rental market value.,, so don't tar all landlords with the same brush.
