The results of Labour’s war on landlords

You can see that the median rent in New Zealand was basically stable in 2016 and 2017 at around NZ$400 a week. Since the change of Government (and numerous policies imposing extra costs on landlords) the median rent has increased to $575 a week in just over five years. That is more than $9,000 a year in increased rent. The median rent has risen almost 60% in five years.
