READ THE AOTEAROA RENTERS’ SURVEY
WE’VE RELEASED THE AOTEAROA RENTERS SURVEY!
This year we collaborated with ActionStation to deliver the Aotearoa Renters’ Survey – nearly 10 years on from the original peoples review of renting. We surveyed 3,310 renters across the country through the Aotearoa Renters’ Survey to find out what it’s really like to rent in 2026. The report shows that despite what we hear about this being a renters market, the vast majority of renters experiences paint a different picture. High rents, mouldy houses, and the threat of evictions mean renters are trapped in unsafe and unsuitable housing. We’ve got work to do and to do it, we need your help.
A BETTER FUTURE FOR RENTERS
We’ve got a plan to fix renting in Aotearoa
A Better Future for Renters builds on the findings from the Aotearoa Renters’ Survey, and sets out the steps needed to make renting safer, fairer, and healthier for all renters in Aotearoa. This shows that with sensible, pragamatic changes, we can make the renting system work for everyone. This election, we’re calling on all political parties to adopt our plan to make a better future for renters.
