Recent articles HERE and HERE point to:
1. Landlords evicting tenants amid nerves about the upcoming ban on no-cause evictions.
2. Landlords evicting anti-social tenants before changes to tenancy legislation come into force.
The spike in evictions is a direct result of revisions to the RTA which increases risk for landlords.
A few weeks back I used the 90 day no cause termination clause to end the tenancy of a tenant who had been with me for some time but after consideration was simply too risky to manage under new tenancy laws.
Has anyone else here ended a tenancy as a direct result of the RTA changes?
I am not surprised to read of the Tenants Protection Association (TPA) chief executive Penny Arthur claim that there has been a 60 per cent increase in tenants seeking help with no-cause terminations over the last three months compared to same time last year.
That is sad. It is sad because it was avoidable.
Had Government listened to industry advice from the Real Estate Institute of NZ (REINZ), Property Investors Federation (NZPIF) and others on the adverse effects on tenants should the 90-day no-cause notice cease to exist – Penny would not be seeing this spike.
