Wouldn't it be good if the PNCC took the lead in supporting a Warrant of Fitness for all their rental properties.It would be a first for New Zealand,and could show the way forward  for other local authorities.

Property Investors may also be encouraged to ensure that their rental properties were fit for purpose.It would be a win,win for the city,and its growing number of renters.It could be a city with decent accommodation for all its residents.

This would be a plus in attracting more students to the city,and ensure their parents would be happy in the knowledge their children are in safe accommodation.
Make Palmerston North first choice in leading the field in providing good rental housing.
