Hi Hebe, Thanks for that, yes TPA are awesome thanks!

Hi Lucy, Thanks I very much appreciate your generosity! I will google your email aftr the wkd with a few questns,any feedback greatly valued. Thanks again Beth.

Also a big Thankyou to Public Address and Elinor for this much needd discussn on the way 'renters' are portrayd in the mainstream media and treatd and demonisd in a propertyboom with no capitalgains tax. Tenants have become the new beneficiary bashng recipients.

Thanks Mathew I agree fire wouldv been easier! re numberng I had a tenancy with 3 separate numbers on the contract, lettng agent reciept and then the bond. Turndout it was not a legal dwellng as many rentals with unclear numbrng may be,and or tax dodging rental incomes. I am considrng compiling a submissn to Ministr Nick Smith for changes to the RTA as I feel its weightd heavily towards landlords in many areas and find several sections substantially unfair to tenants . If anyone has a good knowledge of the ResTenancies Act or any ideas and feedback re their experience as tenants Id appreciate learng more and any feedback I can put to Parliament to request changes to the Act. If interestd would you reply and I can supply my email. Thanks Beth.

Lucy, great to read your posts. It is very difficult to impossble to do a kind of due diligence on rentals. landlords and propmgrs are vague at best of times re facts. let alone how do u test for mould or cold in one viewng, and in daytime. unfair and unreasnble to expect a tenant to ascertain this. also secondly i had to ring police emergncy 111 due to burglar.the police couldnt locate the numbr of my rental so i spent nearly 10mins explaing where it was.if itd been a fire i hate to thnk what mightv hapnd.Appallng.
