Ad for illegal Auckland rental pulled from Trade Me after outrage

Mildred Armah Reporter from Eastern Courier

A house being advertised for rent without a working stove or cook top has been removed from Trade Me after social media outrage.

The dwelling is a three-bedroom, one-bathroom house, available for rent in Auckland’s Ellerslie at $550 per week.

“Cook top and oven is not working, tenants may need to arrange their own cooking facility or negotiate with landlord to arrange,” the ad said.

The lads in the workshop...
