I have just found out the rental property I have been paying rent to someone to for the last 9 months, (and have a tenancy agreement for) does not belong to the person I have been paying, but to the council.
I have been given 2 weeks to vacate and I have 40-50 ducks and a goose and desperately need somewhere that will take them.
If anyone can help please, please please, get in touch on 020 406 41485. In ChCh or North Canterbury.
Or if anyone knows if there is any way to appeal the council notice to give me some time to find somewhere to liveIm absolutely terrified of having no where to house my feather babies’
Not sure why the government have laws to prevent tenants being evicted on no notice if the local government can do that even though it’s got nothing to do with me that the landlord doesn’t own the land and I have been paying rent and have an agreement I signed in good faith.
I know I can take the landlord to court and probably will but right now I urgently need somewhere for me and my ducks who are like my children, to live.
Every child is unique. At NumberWorks'nWords, we know that your child is amazing already. We just help them prove it, so that they shine when it's their time! ?

A married Christchurch woman says it is “ridiculous” she is paid less New Zealand Superannuation than someone who is single and living with another adult.

A married person gets a pension of $817.32 a fortnight, before tax, compared with the $990.20 received by a person sharing with someone who is not their spouse or partner.
“I have a friend who isn't in a relationship, but she's sharing a house, and they share all the expenses, and she's going to end up getting $172.88 more than me a fortnight which is just plain wrong,” said Daphne, who did not want her last name used for privacy concerns.
The combined fortnightly payment for a couple is $1634.64.
The Ministry of Social Development said people in a relationship were more likely to share a wider range of costs and resources than a single person living with another adult.

Need to get rid of old large 2 seater leather sofa. Structurally very sound but is very "used" with a big tear in one of the leather seat cushions. Repair is beyond my skill set but may suit a keen DIYer. Free to anyone but also happy to pay someone to remove it from Lincoln and dump it. … View moreNeed to get rid of old large 2 seater leather sofa.

That’s why Ryman villages plan ahead by offering independent living in apartments and townhouses, assisted living in serviced apartments, resthome care and, in most villages, hospital and specialist dementia care.
We offer a higher ratio of care in our villages so that if your needs change, you have priority access to our care centres.

Apart from any other issues, climate disruption is increasingly impacting our communities, with repair/maintenance/insurance costs increasing as adverse and erratic weather events multiply. And science tells us that this is just the beginning.
We need councillors who are there to represent the interests of our entire community - including our young folk and unborn generations. Let's leave our kids with a low-carbon economy and a liveable climate.
Dear neighbours,
How many of you remember gardening in school? Hopefully, more students and teachers will be inspired by the great work being done at this amazing school.
