advance on the grievance list, even if the tenant
asked for monthly payments.
So, even with your suggested piece of paper,
would a Tenancy Unobunal Adjudicator give any
weight to it, or 'interpret' it as an irrelevancy,
adhere to the letter of the law and slap the PI
with damages?
I wouldn't want to risk it because general indications
are that Adjudicators will interpret liberally to the
advantage of a tenant and stick to the letter of the
RTA to the disadvantage of the LL.
A Distraction
Do you have any figures indicating the number of
LL or PMs whose rentals would escape the DBH
statistics for numbers of residential rentals in NZ?
