A new report has found New Zealand renters are better off than a year ago.

Property Investors Federation Advocacy Manager Matt Ball says it's not the same story in every region, but renting is definitely more affordable.

"If you look at Auckland - rents have been flat in Auckland for a number of years now, so renters are in a much better position now than they have been in previous years."
