There is a processing fees for opening a bank account? If yes, how much? Thank you

❤❤❤❤ hi sis

Now, the reason why Landlords may not fully, or partially, furnish a property is because those furnishings then become the Landlord’s responsibility. For example, if the Landlord puts in a dishwasher, and it breaks down, then the Landlord is responsible for fixing it. Sure, he can charge more for the rental, being furnished and all, but he may not want the hassle. Secondly, it can cost potential tenancies as most tenants will already have their furnishings, that they’ve purchased and used in their previous rental, then what do you do with the double up of furniture and appliances, as most Landlords aren’t wealthy enough to afford storage facilities for such stuff. Hope this helps.

Hi Deb, enjoyed your little video. I think an exemption could be, for example, if you ‘physically’ can’t get under the house for to insulate, then that becomes an exemption (no underfloor insulation) which, as you say, does little or nothing for the occupant of the house, but, nothing really can be done for that situation.

Screens on windows aren't used so much in NZ because, apparently, people just don't like the look. I grew up in Northland, and our rental home had screens on the windows but none on the doors. Oh, the _blowflies!_ As I'm sure you know by now, insects are ever-present in NZ homes if you don't have screens on windows and doors. Frankly, I'd rather have screens on the windows and doors, than poison fly spray in my lungs, but maybe that's just me.

Hi Deb looking fwd to your next post.Its been a while 😊🙏

Welcome to New Zealand. Looks like you've got a pretty decent landlord who has gone the extra mile in so many ways. In case anyone thinks all rentals in Aotearoa are like that, many houses are old and some are cold, draughty and damp. I own my own home but as it's a 100+ years old it is indeed cold, draughty and damp. 😊

Heat pump is a joke it’s basically an AC 😂

We moved to New Zealand from the US five years ago too! We love a good living space tour/house tour/apartment tour. :) We have the exact same chair. :)

Plz. Help me i am from India

I'm applying for your gorilla kitchen Auckland.stor work job vacancy

Hi gorilla kitchen Auckland

We may have to move there for a few years for work. We are worried because we weren't planning to do this and we have 2 cats and 2 dogs. Any insight on having pets in a rental?

Just curious, have you fully got back your bonds of the first rental ?

I have no interest in furnishing a flat, but I watched all of this and was wierdly fascinated. Another win for random TH-cam clips.

Great video. Question: how "cold" did you guys get during the middle of winter? did you have any issues staying warm?

Hi nice

I am a furniture Carpenter i hine job

Not sure where you really come from, but rents are paid on a weekly basis in the US too. Where did you live again?

Ponsonby is a great suburb to reside, the Italian suburb with its cappacinos,pastas or pizzas

Chicken curry yum😋 better with coconut cream 😋😋😋

Is best to work with the prop. manager who acts as an advocate between renters & landlord. They will give you more info. about the property compared to a landlord who only cares about the $$$

Thank you so much for your videos! My husband and I are planning to relocate to NZ in about a year. I'm curious about the jobs you've been able to find and the level of difficulty in finding them. Thanks so much for sharing your experience!

John, a man of few words, those birds and their domestics, the other 2 eyeing up that one bird, they soon settled down when it's partner came back. Too funny. Check Kumeu when you can, they have nice wineries out that way, and fruit farms where you can pick your own fruit,and they make it into ice cream for you, real fruit ice creams. Also Little Huia and Cornwallis are nice little spots on the coast

I'm so happy you got to spend time with your mother, what a great honour.

I coming to NZ this coming Sept-Nov as a visiting professor at the University of Waikato in Hamilton. So, my wife and I are looking for someone to live there over that time period. Any advice?

what, Debits cards are bank issued, so you got told a lie by a lazy employee, this is an advertisement promo for sun screen, th-cam.com/video/7Sh9ZF-UxMw/w-d-xo.html

Dont over pay on insurance, tourists are covered by emergency care, ACC is a separate insurance for accident cover, =this is liability cover, always take three layers of clothing for any hiking, foraging is a theme, & fishing,

Renting appliances is an option.

Trademe is now owned in Britain, so i didnt know they blocked overseas members, that seems odd. Move is price is 6 weeks rent, two weeks is in advance, and 4 weeks is keep by a Govt bond agency.

I miss my city so much,it such a beautiful place, hope to return in the near future.

It wasn't the Russians they were wary of,more the Japanese.

Once the weather improves, you'll get used to hanging out your clothes on a clothes line, so much better then a dryer,unless it rains a lot,which does happen in some areas.

this was very helpful...thank you for the tip

NZ voltages are generally not compatible with American electrical goods

not sure that was legal for him to make you still pay rent as we have the healthy home standards now. you can email citizens advice bureau to find out your legal rights around that and may also have access to a free lawyer (i think you get 15 minutes)?

Welcome to NZ. Sorry about the weather this week. We are over in the waitakere ranges. If you want a nice outing. Ride the train on the western line all the way to Swanson. There is a lovely cafe at the last station (good coffee).

I had to leave NZ to discover Indian food, its everywhere over here in the UK but I don't ever recall it being in Dunedin, but that's going back to the 90s. I love it!

Bring heaps of money as this place is thru the roof food petrol acomadation try going g Australia Bali Thailand any where but here go away

Your videos need to be significantly louder

Hi. I am an American who has lived in the Auckland area for 22 years. I want to say you are a very good shopper, especially because of the functionality of what you got, and the delivery costs. To find a rental apartment that includes a large modern fridge and a washer and dryer is remarkable. As you have mentioned most rentals do not include any of those appliances.

Any issues bringing in sunscreen, bug spray, toothpaste etc. Someone on YT said something about "Biosecurity" and them being strict about some things.

Some good advice, one thing to mention is its not required here to tiip anywhere, but you can if you really want to, not common in NZ. And prices listed are the final price.

It is a very nice apartment! But the rent is steep!!!! lol. Deb, which area of Auckland is it?

Please reach out if you'd like help with pricing other items that we didn't talk about in the video. I remember feeling so uncertain about what a budget around a rental and furnishings before we were on shore here in NZ. Happy to help if we can with that kind of info :)

You are defintely in the higher end of the market ? If you own a house in the states, NZ house prices are dropping, high interest rates, and the NZ dollar is down against the USD. If you sold your house in the states, you will double your $$. NZ has no capital gains FYI

What a beautiful apartment.I love your wonderful lounge, the couch looks comfy.kitchen is really nice..white goods, what a blessing.. really proud of you guys , lovely home, you sure do , know how to buy & save money.thankyou for showing your wonderful home.
