Tenancy advice service
Christchurch tenants will be able to get free advice and help with tenancy problems from March 1. The first meeting of the reformed Tenants’ Protection Association (Christchurch) Inc., has decided to have both a telephone and personal counselling service working by that date. About 20 people attended the meeting. Three students who were helped by a similar service run by the Canterbury University Students’ Association last year gave $lOO for the new service.
The association’s chairman, Mr Andrew Alston, said the association would also deal with landlords on behalf of tenants. Information about tenants’ rights would be published. The. services will be run from the same building as the Citizens Advice Bureau, on the corner of Oxford Terrace and Worcester Street. The association has reformed — after being disbanded in 1979 — because of an increase in the number of tenancy problems in Christchurch during the last year.
