Last week Tenants Protection called to see the family. After getting nowhere with the landlord, he was subsequently informed that the windows were being fixed in lieu of paying the rent this week. Parbhu called at the house a day early when the husbands were at work, demanding the rent before the window man had come. Parbhu told Mrs Taratoa she would receive a month's notice, because he is selling the place. It is worth $6300 Yearly rates are $122. He can live off the profits of his own immorality now. Where can this Family go? Will the next owner receive money for putting people in this building?

This is only one case in hundreds.

Our society's laws allow this to happen.

Polynesian people are usually the victims.
