my mother has had the ceiling of her drafty old, high stud bungalow insulated for years
a few months ago she got the subsidy for underfloor insulation
great, but the wind still howls through and around the warped and poorly fitted wooden windows and doors
you can see daylight through them in many places...
so what's the solution? rip out all wood and replace with double-glazed windows and new doors?, may as well rip off the kauri weatherboards and fill the walls? or would it be better to simply hammer up 2x2 battens inside all exterior walls, fill with foam sheet and then repanel???
what's that likely to be worth all up $100,000?
and it would still have a shocking bathroom and kitchen...have you defeated them?
your demons

Watch this space , better start doing up your dumpster now before you get stung by the reality Wasp
A stupid doomer.
This could be fun.
in case you haunt already noticed in this country , we have a sick case of the haves and have nots, and a monopoly in the housing sector coupled with a lack of new builds has created a dynamic of limited supply and over priced dumpsters.......
The tide is about to change,
How?
Looks to me like the supply is getting shorter and the demand is getting larger.
Or is that what you're rejoicing about?

Minimum Standards For Rentals Considered
Now here's something that should boost rent costs for the very
people it is supposed to help! Maybe it will only apply - at least
initially - to WINZ-supported tenants?
Minimum Standards For Rentals Considered
Catherine Harris

Originally posted by FairfaxHousing Minister Nick Smith has asked officials to do some initial
groundwork on a warrant of fitness for all rental properties. However,
the minister has stressed that if such a policy was rolled out, state
housing should be brought up to standard first. A spokesman for Smith
said the first priority would be to settle on what a minimum standard
would be. "They'd obviously need to address the state housing sector
first, and then if they feel comfortable with that, they would then
look into the private sector where there's government subsidies being
paid towards the tenants who are in these homes," he said.

<Maybe it will only apply - at least initially - to WINZ-supported tenants?>
Oh Perry you are so wrong- it is not WINZ supported tenants but Taxpayer supported tenants.
Many many years ago I had a flat which was rented to a Taxpayer supported tenant- I used to console myself that when ever I encountered a problem with said tenant that at least the tax I was paying was going full circle!
As to the storey re WOF for rentals yes f it ever eventuates yet another layer of meddling in our daily lives and more expensive rents for the poor tenant.
I do agree that there should be good quality rentals and I think most of us have those but the olda adage 'buyer beware" could equally apply to renter beware - if they are not happy just move somewhere else.
