Ad for illegal Auckland rental pulled from Trade Me after outrage

Mildred Armah Reporter from East & Bays 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.

How does 9 days without your phone sound?

Eve from Eve Rudkin Mindfulness

Hi Neighbours, I was lucky enough to spend 9 days recently training in mindfulness - no phone, no news, almost no talk - just paying attention to my experience, at a peaceful off-grid centre in the Coromandel.

It was pretty amazing, but I don't suggest you try that length at first, what about starting with an hour?

Come and soothe body and mind with a small group for a gentle mindfulness session of ease and peace. The session includes gentle movement and relaxing simple meditation.

Next one is on Tue 7th of May 1 - 2.15pm, Meadowbank Community Centre. Come and see what it is like! Contact me - the first session free, then Koha welcome. 021 255 1485

Meet Sammy! Initially, he was a bundle of nerves during grooming sessions. But now, he's all smiles and wagging tails! It's indeed heartwarming to see him enjoying the pampering. 😊🐩💕
