    A slowdown in the rental market is more likely to be seasonal...than anything to do with the Government's tax changes

    A slowdown in the rental market is more likely to be seasonal...than anything to do with the Government's tax changes


    Trade Me's latest Rental Price Index shows demand for rentals nationwide was down 17-percent in April, compared to March.

    OneRoof Editor Owen Vaughn says it's typical for the time of year.

    He says it's still a case of wait and see on whether the Government's changes are working, and that's evident because there hasn't yet been any dampening in house prices.
