Tania Tapsell: Rotorua Mayor on the cracking down on short term housing providers who are taking on long term tenants

Rotorua's Mayor is looking to crackdown on unsafe housing providers in the city.  Tania Tapsell is targeting motels, hostels, and backpackers that might be operating unsafely by taking on long term tenants.  It comes after a deal was struck between local government, council, and iwi last year, aiming to slash emergency housing motel numbers to near zero.   Tapsell told Mike Hosking that it's disappointing to see long term tenancies in what should be short term accommodation.  She says the healthy home requirements for a house are a lot different for those at a backpackers.  LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
