Communtity Law Manual | Community Life

Our communities are the places we live and the people we live alongside, but what if our community life isn’t going so smoothly? From disputes over fencing, to trespassing, to your rights to beg on a footpath, this section of the Community Law Manual has plain language information about community life in Aotearoa.
