Single mum not suitable for Porirua rental
A single mother was turned away at the door, with her child in her arms, when she went to view a house, despite the property being listed as “suitable for two tenants”.
Te Maari Papara had arranged to view the one-bedroom house in Porirua and brought along her 1-year-old son, Kash.
“She [the property manager] just stared at me and told me to leave,” the 21-year-old mother said.
“It felt degrading.”The property manager told Papara that the house was only suitable for “professional singles or couples”. But the listing from Oxygen Property Management hadn’t mentioned that requirement – and still didn’t on Wednesday afternoon.
Do you think this is fair?
Some Choice News!
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.
Thanks to people like Alan Baldick, who’s made it his mission to protect the monarch, his neighbours still get to enjoy these beautiful butterflies in their own backyards.
Thinking about planting something to invite more butterflies, bees, and birds into your garden?
Thanks for your mahi, Alan! We hope this brings a smile!
