Some Christchurch landlords are offering a week’s free rent to attract tenants as rental prices in the city reach their lowest point in three years.
Tenants on average are paying nearly 10 per cent less rent than a year ago, with high levels of building and earthquake repairs boosting the city’s housing supply and forcing owners to absorb extra costs.
