We have one bedroom rental units within Gisborne city and Te Karaka for tenants who are 55-years and over, with no dependents or dogs.
The weekly rental includes lawn mowing, building maintenance and rubbish collection.
The city complexes are close to the GizzyBus route.
Applying for a rental unit
You need to have either a Community Services or SuperGold card. Attach a photocopy of your card to your application.
Once we've received your application, staff will phone you to discuss your application and answer any questions you may have.
There's a very high demand for a limited number of units, so there's often a waiting list before a unit may become available.
Once you're successful we require a bond of $410 plus 2 weeks rent in advance.
