My landlord in Auckland has given me a 40% rent increase with a 30-day notice. I've read what I can online, but the rules are confusing and different sources contradict each other. I'm hoping that someone with experience in housing or tenant rights in Auckland could spare 20-30 minutes to explain the process, the deadlines and the documents I should collect. I have my lease, all communications and photos organized. I'm happy to share them privately. I can't pay for a lawyer, so any guidance on free services in Auckland would also be appreciated. Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.

  • So sorry you're going through this, Sophie. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Sent it to 26 people at work. Take care

    • I hope things turn around soon. Wish I lived closer to Brescia so I could bring a meal.

      • good luck. This could happen to any of us. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend

        • Hope things get better soon, Sophie. This could happen to any of us.

          • it takes guts to ask. Well done. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Thinking of Auckland.
