Tenancy company offering prizes for renewal of lease, instead of just doing their job

Two weeks ago, we got a letter from our tenancy company, Te Aro Tenancies:


"We are even holding a drawing for terrific PRIZES for those that sign up early!"

This coming from the tenancy company that has left our ventilation broken for months, allowing our house to fill with mould and condensation. The tenancy company whose buildings are all slums. The tenancy company that refuses to respond to emails unless the Tenancy Tribunal is brought up as a threat.

In my Te Aro Tenancies apartment, there are two openable windows, and they both open against a retaining wall. Another that I looked at had the windows welded shut.

Since moving in my health has taken a dive, with respiratory and skin issues popping up left and right.

I don't want prizes for renewing my lease--I want a habitable place to stay while I study. A place where I feel safe, where I won't suffer from unnecessary health issues.

Take your prizes and shove it, Te Aro Tenancies.
