Quick tip for anyone renting in Christchurch: if your landlord tries to hike the rent by more than the allowed percentage without proper notice, you can dispute it through Tenancy Services. I had a mate who nearly got stung with a 7% increase out of the blue last month. Turns out, there’s a cap tied to the CPI, and they have to give at least 60 days’ written notice. She contacted Tenancy Services, and the landlord backed down immediately. Worth knowing if you’re renting—saved her $40 a week.
