EMPTY ROOMS
"Meter Reader" is quite right about there being plenty of empty rooms in Auckland. I have three large double rooms and one single, vacant for months. I let a large house to one tenant, complying with the Mount Eden Borough by-laws, which evidently say a house must be let to relatives, or boarders, when the house becomes. vacant, and'the tenant took in a sub-tenant, who did not pay her landlady for about six weeks. My tenant left the house not paying me. The sub-tenant, who is not my tenant, should accordingly take the whole house or leave. She will not go, or take the whole house. She has three double rooms, one single, and kitchenette and good sized porch. I have had no rent since last July. I cannot get the sub-tenant out, nor will the borough council permit me to let the rooms myself. They are all thoroughly clean, healthy and renovated, with new paint and papers throughout, on a quarter-acre section. The house has two lavatories. I feel utterly bewildered and WORNOUT.
