Interesting the rents are stagnant here in Auckland, where as in Vancouver, Canada (a cit
similar demographics to Auckland) for example, they have risen 17% in the last year, eve
though property prices are stagnant. The average price on a two bedroom apartment in
$(can)3900 per month.
So whilst we might have our post COVID issues, we are not the only ones, and we are ahe
some aspects.

"In March, when Trade Me’s median asking rent was also at $600, data from the Ministry
Business, Innovation and Employment showed median rent for all properties with a bond
sat $40 lower, at $560".
This is awed analysis. You can't use existing (historic) rent data to conclude landlords ar
letting their properties for the asking price...

I'm not sure what to believe, we recently rented one of our Wellington properties for $90
more than previous tenant was paying. By recently I mean 2 weeks ago. We have anothe
coming up next month and we raisied that one $60pw. Already have strong interest. Ren
in Wellington are certainly not dropping .

TradeMe data is only for advertised rentals, it doesnt see Social Housing rentals, boardin
houses, or those landlords who o er accommodation through Facebook or word of mou
which are likely to be cheaper rentals. Nothing to do with Landlords not being able to get
advertised rent.

Interesting you say that. I have participated in discussion groups leading up to the
insulation and performance requirements and someone from MBIE told me that w
limitations due to the limited skills available in the construction industry due to poo
training backgrounds and the inability to adapt to more technical modern and cost
e ective building methods.
Basically the building industry is in need to upskill before we can improve the build
regulations further.

My way of seeing it is. If a tenant is happy paying bugger all and is happy to live in a
dunger, it has nothing to do with the government. If it is ok for a landlord to live in
dunger, why is it not ok for a tenant? Both are human being.
What is the di erence???

The di erence is that our Labour government like to feel they are in cotrol of as m
possible. The classic control freak situation. Hence they control the rental market
requiring all these new higher standards which simply penalises the tenants thro
higher rents and frequent inspections
But I agree with you 100%. That is exactly how I got into rentals when I was young
lived in a crappy farm cottage for very little rent. And we used the rest of our inco
buy rentals in town. 15 years of living in a crappy house = 3 rentals purchased, plu
own home purchased
NB. It took a lot more than just living in a crappy house, like having 2 jobs each, b
was a fair chunk of it

If my workshop is messy and full of trip hazards nobody cares but if I have a com
operation with employees the picture changes entirely.
The same applies to houses for someone pays to live in.
People who can a ord to own a rental can a ord insulation and double glazing if
choose to.
