Just a reminder that if you're renting and your landlord tries to increase the rent by more than 5% in a 12-month period, that's actually illegal in NZ unless they get a special exemption from the Tenancy Tribunal. I found this out the hard way when our landlord tried to bump it 8% last year. Check your tenancy agreement and don't be afraid to contact Tenancy Services if something feels off. Saved us a lot of stress and money.
