Retired and renting

Rodney Patea is one of a growing number of pensioners who don’t own a home. He’s surrounded by vacant holiday mansions in his Coromandel town, but struggling to find a long-term rental. The 76-year-old fisherman may have to ride his horse out of town, or live in his car.

“That’s what everyone’s afraid of”. Rodney Patea, a pensioner struggling to find a long-term rental in his Coromandel town, thinks he might have to buy a tent or live in his car. Matarangi is full of vacant holiday mansions, and no affordable long-term rentals.

Last Home Renters is made with the support of NZ On Air.
