Reply to the comment left by Ian Cognito at 24/06/2026 - 16:47Let me get this straight, putting a tax on something will increase supply. Even if that was true, did you consider it would reduce demand? If I was thinking...

Taxed on square meters is a much fairer way. But as others have alluded to, its much more about being a cash grab. Bank robbers rob banks, because that is where the money is, and land value tax advocates go...

The Land tax is the worst of all taxes. All houses in New Zealand have a government valuation. This valuation has nothing to do with the properties real value. How can you continuously value a whole country's properties? Putting that...

Because the impact is already decided. You don't need past data for that.

The government shouldn't be putting fines on people pulling out. Just shorten the process to 20 days like other countries. What is a "legitimate reason." for pulling out. Can 2 half "legitimate reasons." count. What if there is a legitimate...

"The reason rents have risen across England is a historic failure to build homes to meet rocketing demand." "But that’s not the fault of landlords – it would take a very big pair of rose-tinted glasses to suggest otherwise." The...

The end goal here is to make being a landlord impossible. Then complain landlords are a failure and the government should be landlords. Nationalisation of the rental sector.

If you are saying rental income and salary income are equal, and therefor rental income should have NI, then: Salary income should have Stamp Duty and Capital gains taxes. Even better, if the problem is they are not equal, then...

Are they talking about a land tax? Basically making everyone tenants in their own homes.

If they don't like the rent being charged, then live further out or in a smaller place, that's what I did when renting. When inflation and capital gains are taken into account are landlords really making super normal gains?

"79% of the public believe the government should play a role in ensuring private rents are affordable" 79 percent probably believe they should get free groceries and get quadruple pay rises. Doesn't make it a good idea or a workable...

Even better, because there is no bidding wars, landlords will advertise higher rents and accept lower bids. So if the market rents are advertised rents, it's all good.

I think even responsible landlords do have to fea inadvertent mistakes, which are guaranteed to happen.

This government has a policy of saying everything is fine all the time, even when it's not. As long as you're not personally affected, you'd believe them. We know better.

As a software developer, I find it bizarre, you wouldn't combine the two. There is a principle in development, the DRY principle. Which means Don't Repeat Yourself. But as this is not a service offered by business for a customer,...

NZ has a party equivalent to Reform in the governing coalition. Which is the reason section 24 equivalent removed and reversal of bad landlord policies. The sooner we have a Reform government the better.

I saw your posts and attempt to organise. Much appreciated. Sad there was not much take up. Governments treat landlords as thier b*tches. No-one seems to stand up to them, and we are so fragmented. I would have considered joining...
