- Description
Two Samoan children photographed in sub-standard rental housing, Petone, New Zealand. Photographed by an Evening Post staff photographer on the 20th of July 1968.
In 1968 this rental property cost $13 a week (one third of the father's weekly wage). For this the family of five had two rooms. One of these they slept in even though it leaked. The other (pictured here), the sun porch, was not slept in because a window blew in during a storm in April 1968, and though the window was boarded up, it was too cold to sleep in. The tennant had asked the rent collector to tell the landlord of the need for repairs, but so far nothing had been done. Rats were also a problem.
