Te Maari Papara was holding her 1-year-old son, Kash, when she was told she couldn’t view a property in Porirua. A single mother was turned away at the door, with her child in her arms, when she went to view a house, despite the property being listed as “suitable for two tenants”. Te Maari Papara had arranged to view the one-bedroom house in Porirua and brought along her 1-year-old son, Kash. “She [the property manager] just stared at me and told me to leave,” the 21-year-old mother said. The property manager told Papara that the house was only suitable for “professional singles or couples”.
