Researcher Alan Bentley said his research gave him a new appreciation of how moving could impact renters’ finances. Bentley wrote in his paper,
Sticky Rents and The Affordability of Rentals for Housing in New Zealand, that this implied a typical sitting tenant could face a $70 per week rent increase if their circumstances changed and they had to pay contemporary market rent. “Alternatively, this can be thought of as a typical $70 per week mobility premium that a tenant may face to change landlord or location,” the report read. Bentley said the numbers did not surprise him but doing the calculations brought home that many tenants faced a risk of increased rents when their tenancies ended.
