Life as a Landlord

[Wayne]

It's excluded under RTA provisions - that's why!

Is being excluded a new thing or been there for years?
Change under National or Labour?

[flyernzl]

Same way as its illegal to charge interest on rent arrears.
Pay your mortgage late, pay your credit card late, pay you power bill or your tax late and you quite legally get hit with interest on that debt.
Pay your rent late and you get a handy-dandy interest-free loan from your landlord.

A long time since I looked at it, Wayne, but the Crimes Act exclusion has been there for years. Vaguely recall the police excuse for doing nothing was one or all of sections 77, 81 and 82. Maybe others? No matter - the LL is screwed.

Thanks Perry.
So maybe not all Labour's fault as Donna suggests.
I can't see much, if anything. changing for this under a National Govt.

Agreed. Unless perhaps pushed into it by a coalition partner.
But even that seems optimistic.
Perhaps the best that can be hoped for is that the lux flake crowd do reverse the non-deductibility of interest on residential PI mortgages.

They say they will . . . but never trust the promises of any parliamentary opposition seeking to become the gummint. The choices are murky and dismal.

Where have you been? This sort of thing has been going on for a long time under any Govt - this isn't a Labour thing!
This is criminal damage and always has been. No one said that it wasn't - did they?

As for National restoring law and order - are you joking? All they can come up with is boot camps which are an old tried and failed National policy.

Retail crime is up 39 % in 12 months.

Really not sure how that relates to trashing rentals?
Which has been happening for years under any Govt and doesn't appear to be getting better or worse.
Very lazy thinking.

Steady on Wayne. My post is in the “life as a Landlord” discussion and I can post the rental trashing event in it - and put forward my opinion that crime against property and people has increased.

The Green Party says National's proposed changes to tenancy laws would be "stripping [tenants] of their rights" to stable and secure housing, but a property investor has backed National's claims current rules are a disincentive to rental supply.

All the usual nonsense from the expected quarters. Especially commie-Chloe.

In her usual drivel about "human rights," she politically-expediently skips over the 'human right' of private property rights of ownership of a PI.

As for the woody one, the same drivel about 'balance' that FarGoneBoy lied about. We all know how 'balance' works with the current crop of commie clowns in W'gton.


Even the gNats can't get it right. They do not understand that they have been "framed" by Labour's spin doctors and the NZ prostitute media and so continue repeating the lie, "no cause," instead of spelling it out! It's: no reason given.

Donna

Do you have anything to back up the assertion that crime against property has increased?
So far as I can see it hasn't really gotten better or worse.

[donna]

^^Sure - crime against retail property has increased 40% says NZHerald

Also here's another 'Life as a Landlord' experience - Landlord has to sell rental cheap due to tenant damage totalling $18000.00

1000 % agree Donna.
I support you right to give any opinion you want.

Wayne does owe you an apology for turning it personal, in my honest opinion.

As far as the increase in property crime... seems so to me too.
I just can't recall ever having all these ram raids and gun incidents in the past.

I do think (opinion), that a weak police minister, will lead to a demotivated police force, and that will look like a go signal to those with criminal tendencies.

Of course a total fascist police force will be no good either.

The Limited Service Volunteer programme apparently has a very high success rate.

I thought we were talking about crime against residential property?
I remember now why I don't come here often and for some reason my email got pinged after all these months (years maybe).

I understand that people here don't like dissenting views within this echo chamber.
