Residential Tenancy Act years. The requirement applies from 1 July 2016 for social housing that is heavily subsidised by Government, and from 1 July 2019 for other rental housing, including boarding houses. There will be exemptions, such as where it is physically impractical to retrofit insulation due to limited space underfloor or inaccessible raked ceilings. “There will also be a new requirement from 1 July 2016 for all landlords to state in tenancy agreements the level of ceiling, underfloor and wall insulation to help better inform tenants.

Rental owners be aware - changes to the Residential Tenancy Act We have a large property management department employing four property managers and have had to recently get up to speed with the recent announcement of changes to the RTA to better improve the safety and health condition of properties that we manage.

“Smoke alarms will also be required in all tenanted properties from 1 July 2016. Regulations will make landlords responsible for ensuring an operational smoke alarm is in place, and tenants responsible for replacing batteries or notifying landlords of defects.

Due to the nature and expertise of the insulation requirements under this new amendment to the RTA I would recommend a property assessment of the insulation requirements of your rental property from a registered insulation provider/installer who, amongst other things, should be able to provide a quote for: a. The cost of the insulation and installation of the ceiling cavity b. The cost of the insulation and installation of the underfloor cavity. Some properties will be eligible for a subsidy of up to 75% of the insulation. This is determined on numerous requirements and also the location of your investment / rental property in New Zealand. If you are unsure of your position and requirements contact your local Property Management Company otherwise go to the following link for further information www.beehive. govt.nz/release/tenancy-law-changesinclude-insulation-and-smoke-alarmrequirements

Fill your bottle up to the halfway mark with beer (slugs aren’t fussy about the type of beer, but kids make sure you ask your parents first!). To ensure that the beer is protected from rain, take the discarded end of your plastic fizzy drink bottle and cut off a section approximately 5cm from the end. Balance this section on the three sticks you staked earlier. This will create a lid to protect the beer against rain. Now all you have to do is sit back and wait. Overnight the slugs will slide their way into the beer. And don’t just stop with one beer bait bottle, make several and place them around your slug susceptible veges. Believe me you’ll be amazed by the results.

Plant Crafts

Pot planters Funky ways to pot plant your spring flowers! Spring has all but sprung and lush foliage abounds – but if your house remains drab, dank and dark here are some simple ways of cheering it up. Planters needn’t be expensive and can simply be made from materials you have lying around the home.

Gumboot Planter

So go ahead and let creativity abound!

With the array of different gumboots available and how cheap they are today you can easily afford to pop to a shop and pick up a few pairs or just ask your friends for any spares. This works well with boots as well! Hanging them on a fence is particularly striking.

Jar Planter If you’re like me you’ll have some of Nana’s preserving jars lying around. Always far too valuable to dispose of they have sat at the top of the cupboard gathering dust. But now I have a great use for them! Just get some wood, some brackets and jars and you have yourself a funky contemporary yet slightly rustic planter!

Shell Planter Kina shells make a wonderful textured planter that will be sure to have your friends sighing in envy. They especially look great with succulents!

Can Planter

We all have lots and lots of them – but instead of chucking them out how about getting the kids to paint them in crazy designs and then put a plant in them! What a great way to recycle but at the same time create some colour in your garden!

Frame them with your pipes and may-be add some plywood shelves for an industrial and interesting look!

Drum chairs! And if you use drums for the shelves above you could use the other half to make a wonderful chair! Get yourself a gas welder or borrow one from the neighbour and cut your desired shape. Cut out a plywood seat and whip up some cushions to go on top.

Can holder Cans are so adaptable and can be used for many things. Try painting them up and putting them together to form a pot plant.

Blood Brothers is a story of family, unconditional love and the ties which bind us all. It takes audiences on a journey with the people of working class Liverpool from the 1960s through to the 1980s. At its centre is the tale of fraternal twins; two boys separated at birth end up at opposite ends of the social spectrum with heart wrenching consequences.
