Welcome back to the Alternative Property Management show as we get ready for The PMC 2023! In our first show of season two, we debate the merits of the National Party announcement that they will revert back to no cause terminations if elected in the upcoming General Election. The Labour Government banned no cause terminations as part of their reforms to the Residential Tenancies Act in 2020.

Join David Faulkner, Harrison Vaughan and Will Alexander for a lively debate.
