Kiwi Landlording in New Zealand with Canadian Makayla Edwards-Russell

One of the simplest mistakes new landlords make is assuming that the rules for THEIR area are the rules for EVERY area.  This is simply not true, not in the slightest.  Many states, provinces, territories have different codes or acts governing tenancy or providing housing to folks.  In fact, in many places, even more specific cities, counties, regional districts, or parishes require registrations, licensing, periodic inspections or all of the above.  My guest today lives in Auckland, New Zealand, but grew up in Powell River, British Columbia, Canada.  Makayla Edwards-Russell and I compare housing laws between New Zealand and Canada, confirming that you should never assume the housing rules for your area are not the same for every area.
