Every New Zealander has the right to a warm, safe and stable home. But our rental laws are broken.

Rental homes are cold, damp and unsafe even as rents go up and up. Renters can have our homes taken away for any reason — or no reason. Meanwhile, the few rights we do have are poorly enforced through a system that renters themselves pay for. Half of all New Zealanders rent, yet we cannot make our house a home.

Our rental laws are broken but they can be fixed. The Plan to Fix Renting sets out 36 changes to the law and its application that will make our private rental sector healthy, safe, affordable, stable and — most importantly — fair.

This year we have a once-in-a-decade opportunity to fix renting. This plan outlines how.
