I'm waiting for the two ''WOF for Rentals'' ladies to explain how a tenant can get all his rent back from a dodgy landlord when we don't have the WOF scheme up and running?
They keep claiming that tenants have no rights and get exploited but here is a case under the current rules where the tenant has done very well.
Doesn't this show the WOF scheme isn't needed?
I also wonder about what happens if the landlord refuses to pay the $30k.

Actually a WOF scheme could have helped in this case perhaps as if the landlord could prove it was habitable at the rime of tenancy then he was off the hook? These tenants occupied for two years and the rats came from the creek? (what were they feeding on the tenants rubbish???)
As it is they have gone after him for "unconsented garage" which is not a crime and may impinge on District plan or not....the offence becomes technical not emotional???
