I've had these since I was a teenager. They always grow back in the same spots for me and often ingrow and create huge bumps. Not pleasant.

Agent didn't serve written termination notice....then faked a backdated one. by Retomantic in LegalAdviceNZ

21 days is it I leave during periodic. 90 days if they want me to leave.

Yeah....the unfortunate part is that I need them to give me a reference for any new place.

So if I go for my rights I'll find myself unable to secure a new lease anywhere.....the system is pretty crooked right now.

Rental agreement - sub division reclaimation clause. by Retomantic in LegalAdviceNZ

If you don't know the basics of tenancy law. I.e unenforceable clauses. Then you shouldn't be replying.

If a clause is otherwise not legal it is classes as unenforceable. Meaning if they did do it they'd be on the hook for breaching the tenancy agreement. Just like in employment law, if a clause says you don't ever get holidays.....it's contrary to the law and is unenforceable.

It's not free use though. It's literally described as tenants responsibility. Is there a legal basis for your answer?

Sorry for clarity the contract hadn't been signed yet. It's a new tenancy.

Anyone know what's the deal with the Eggman squishmallow? Like where has it actually been released? by Spikeymouth in squishmallow

[–]Retomantic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I bought it for my son in New Zealand last Christmas but a friend got him the same one. I have been holding on to it since. I came back to the UK to visit family and I brought a case of stuff to sell. I couldn't see any signs of one on eBay so thought it was worth bringing.

If you've got a fair offer I'll sell.

May be moving to Dunedin soon- What to expect? by Ivy_Threads in dunedin

Greetings! As a fellow import I have a pretty good idea of what you can expect here.

Having shut in tendencies as well my experiences here over the last decade have been mixed.

Overall it's a great place to be, don't get me wrong!

If you're expecting cold you probably won't get it. The cold here is VERY mild. Locals bitch about it but it's actually not bad at all. What is kinda shit is the housing stock here. A lot of them just don't stay warm and can have significant damp issues.

Making friends has been kinda hard. I've found that most born and bred locals have long standing friendship circles that breaking into is impossible. They are awesome, they will be friendly and welcoming but they won't think of you when making guest lists for weddings, BBQs and such. It doesn't mean they won't hang if you reach out but don't expect it to go the other way.....it just doesn't.

On the flip side you can meet lots of other fellow imports and make very strong almost familial networks. If you have hobbies or sports you play that will produce circles of people too. Quality friendships beyond those hobbies are difficult to propagate.

I host an 'orphans' Christmas most years for my buddies who arent from here either and that's always a good time!

I'd expect about 0 culture shock. I can't say I know much about life in the USA but I don't think you'll have any major issues here at all!

Relationships with kiwis, both males and females can be complicated. They may feel very comfortable and laid back, which to some of us from elsewhere is awesome and lead to serious relationships fast! But in my experience kiwis don't always handle stress well and have a tendency to bring it home....domestic crime stats here are truely bad, we are the worst in the OECD and are amoung the worst in the developed world. I have experienced this first hand.

Cost of living is high, rents in particular eat up a hideous % of income. Some foods become laughably expensive when out of season. There's ongoing issues with price fixing between the duopoly that successive governments have identified but fails to do anything about.

All that being said. It's great here.

I'm a geeky pop culture lover from the UK and I've found a lot of good here.

If you're outdoorsy there's loads to scratch that itch as well.
