Poll: Do we need to improve conditions for tenants?
The government is asking for submissions on proposed changes to the Residential Tenancies Act.
This includes limiting rent rises to once a year, limiting "rental bidding", looking at changing regulations around pets and home alterations, and increasing the amount of notice a landlord needs to end a tenancy to 90 days.

56.5% Yes. Tenants need more rights and greater rental security.

Many New Zealand gardens aren’t seeing as many monarch butterflies fluttering around their swan plants and flower beds these days — the hungry Asian paper wasp has been taking its toll.
