Renting in Marlborough has become even harder as prices hit record highs.
In the latest Trade Me Property Index report, the median rent price in the region for December 2017 stood at a record $423 a week, above Christchurch which was at $400.

The current median was a 12.7 per cent increase from December 2016 when the median was then a record at $375 a week.
