Residential Tenancy Bond Data By Region

Joshua Grainger made this Official Information request to Department of Building and Housing

The request was successful.

From: Joshua Grainger

Dear Department of Building and Housing,

I am requesting under the Official Information Act some statistics related to residential tenancy bonds. I am told by the Ministry of Social Development that they use data provided by you on residential tenancy bonds by region for determining the rate for the Accomodation Benefit.

I would like to request a copy of this data. In particular I am looking for the average weekly per room residential bond rate for each region. I would also like to request any correspondence between the Department and the Ministry of Social Development that set out this data for the last year.

Although it isn't required under the Act I understand it is often helpful to spell out the purpose for an information request. I am requesting this data because I am trying to work out what the rate of the accomodation benefit would be if it was not for the $40 cap on the rate of the benefit.

Feel free to contact me to clarify my request. If it helps, the language I'm using in my request comes from correspodence with the Ministry of Social Development available here: http://fyi.org.nz/requests/68/response/1....

Yours faithfully,

Joshua Grainger
