Mike Atkinson: Aspire Property Management Managing Director on whether the rental market can meet the demand from migration - Early Edition with Ryan Bridge

How long can the rental market meet demand for migrants? 

Stats NZ data shows 245,600 migrants arrived here in the year to October; a new record. 

Net migration is nearly 129,000. 

Compared to Australia, we've taken in 30% more people when adjusted for inflation. 

Aspire Property Management Managing Director, Mike Atkinson, told Tim Dower that it's an enormous amount of people, putting a strain on the system, and could push rents up even further.
