A budgeting service says families are going hungry to pay the bills, as rental costs in Auckland soar.

There's increasing demand for food banks as landlords make regular rent increases.

Mangere Budgeting Services chief executive Darryl Evans says it's sad to see landlords pass the cost on to their tenants. 

Darryl Evans says many families are leaving Auckland for cheaper rentals further south.
