Auckland Council has slashed its office space by 50% since 2018. This hybrid work trend isn't just for the public sector - it's reshaping how we all live and work. And for many of us, the kitchen table just doesn't cut it anymore. Landlords and developers, it's time to adapt! Think about how to make your properties more attractive to hybrid working tenants so you can potentially increase your income, contribute to lower carbon emission and be part of the flexible work movement. Here are some ideas to consider: 1. Convert spare rooms into home offices 2. Create multi-functional living/working spaces 3. Invest in high-speed internet infrastructure 4. Add soundproofing for quiet work environments 5. Install built-in desks and shelving units 6. Provide outdoor working areas like garden offices or balcony setups 7. Use durable materials and fixtures to withstand increased daily use By embracing this trend, we can make hybrid work a lasting feature of our professional landscape.

"The inherent imbalance of power isn't just between those who own and those who rent; it is also between those who are well versed with the law and those who are not." Tenant education is woefully under-gunned. We need more investments and initiatives to support tenants' awareness of tenancy rights and obligations. And we continue to look to the largest tenant organisations, such as Renters United and their backers Green Party of Aotearoa New Zealand, to step up. It makes absolutely no sense that landlords have access to training courses such as NZ Property Investors Federation RentSkills, and there isn't an equivalent one for tenants. The more tenants are empowered to hold bad-acting landlords to account, the less our sector will be saddled with shocking stories that are as sensational as they are marginal, and the less politicians will be forced to make reactionary laws on the fly. https://lnkd.in/gfJ-6Tu4
