Your Koha helps keep our tenancy advocacy service
free for tenants across Aotearoa.

Tenant Support Group is New Zealand’s largest tenant‑only support community and the country’s most complete tenancy rights resource. Every day, renters rely on our Facebook group and this website for accurate guides, template letters, advocacy support, and clear explanations of their legal rights.

This mahi is independent, unfunded, and kept online through the time and energy of volunteers. If this work has helped you, your koha directly keeps these guides updated, protects tenants facing unlawful behaviour, and ensures this platform stays free for everyone who needs it. Even a small contribution makes a real difference to the people who depend on this service.

 

Every contribution strengthens the kaupapa and supports renters facing challenges with landlords, agencies, or the rental system.
