  • Tenant Advocacy Aratohu

We provide FREE information, support and advice for all tenancy questions and issues.  

Support

We provide relevant information to meet tenants' needs and make appropriate referrals to other agencies. Where necessary, we can provide support at Tenancy Tribunal hearings or mediation meetings.  We have immeasurable organisational and community experience and memory with which to mobilise housing solutions in all circumstances.  

Advocacy

We monitor the availability of rental housing in Palmerston North. We make submissions to both central and local government on issues and laws affecting tenants.  We also support and participate in community networks.  Our coordinator Ben Schmidt has a regular spot on Manawatū Peoples' Radio called 'Flatting Today'.

Education

We provide information to individuals and families, and seminars to schools, tertiary institutions, and other interested parties about the rights and obligations of tenants, please contact us if you'd like one of these seminars. We provide interviews to local and national media about housing issues and run awareness campaigns about important housing issues.
