Today, more than a third of New Zealanders will be preparing to self-isolate in a house that they rent. The amendments that are in this bill are significant and necessary protections so that people who are renting can stay in their homes no matter what for an extended period of time. New Zealanders also need certainty and certainly, given the number of New Zealanders who are renters, it is right now an absolute no-brainer to say that this is no time for rent increases. There will be very few Kiwis who will be asking for a pay rise over the coming months, and I think it makes no sense for landlords to ask people to pay more rent either at that time. So what this bill does is it gives people certainty by protecting them from unfair eviction.
