Can someone tell me... we have plans to set my wife up in a garage, converted to an art studio. Would this kind of use need any council consents. (Wellington) or is it just if the space is used for living in? I have assumed this would be fine...but now I am thinking it may not be if the building was consented as a garage?
We have been looking for a personal house for us, and many we have seen have converted garages clearly with sleeping intentions ( because we want a studio). How would we know these are legal, is it on the rates or in the LIM,, or do we specifically have to ask the question for each residence.
We are also considering a suitable property and putting a double garage on it to use as a studio... would this need additional consents.

I think the suggestion that those on benefits should be placed in housing that is available anywhere in the country is a good one..after all as tax payers it costs You and Me to have the assets unused or under used. Perhaps new immigrants should only be allowed to move to those under populated areas of the country where we have the capacity and need new families to boost that economy. Many other countries do have such rules on locals wanting to move into another town. You cant move there unless you have a JOB offer and there is suitable accommodation.. Interesting thought?

Dobbing in makes no difference. Akld Council don't follow up, WINZ don't follow up, they don't give a rats!
The only ones that show any concern is the person doing the dobbing because they have a sense of fairness and ethics.
The people that work in those places are just robots that follow a script and if its not strictly black and white then they have no authority or reason to investigate further.
I agree send new immigrants to the provinces, my properties in Whangarei may then reach their 2007 values by 2014!

Link IRD rental returns / expense claims to proof of property's legality.
Not legal, no expenses able to be claimed.

That's a great idea>> I have properties in the west and the south and they all rent out their garage to someone else!!! NOT ME! I have attempted to stop the overcrowding but they unfortunately are prepared to live like pigs>> I am pretty much over being a Land Lord and that's after 40+ years at it. I Think Arizona has great tenancy laws ..way better than here. "If the tenant doesn't pay as per their lease- The Sheriff comes and forcible removes the Tenant No Court hearing any mucking around."
So The ROGUE Land Lords Are Often the Original Tenants in many cases Sub Letting illegally!

Lead item on TV3 news.
This was from the point of the Fire Service, who said they were increasingly being called out to fires in garages and sleepouts.
These were being used as accommodations without smoke alarms.
Not necessarily rentals of course, but it is sometimes this type of increasing problem that gets someone's attention.
