Hi There.
             The Manawatu Tenants Union is open for business,we hope you had a reasonable Xmas and New Years break and caught up with the family.


One of the most significant challenges that the present government can undertake this year, which will make a real difference to peoples lives,is to provide good affordable rental accommodation.The present housing crisisand growing homelessness is an obvious of housing policy failure.At present the government is just dealing with the symptoms and not the cause.

The answer is to build more rental homes that are fit for purpose.There also needs to be ways to control rent increases,which pushes people into poverty.This is an election year,so now is the time to think about how we as a country, can create a more stable housing rental sector,that works for everyone.A stable community is in all are interests.
