So, the Government is going to change the tax regime for property investing to make it more difficult for LL's to make such HUUUUUUUUUUGE (LOL!!) profits.
Bad tenant, repairs, judicial system, taxed to the bottom of your socks, tax on equity.
If Housing NZ is not prepared to have a woman like this as a tenant, why would any private LL even be bothered??
Antonyanne Reihana has pledged to try to cut down the number of visitors to her next rental property.
She's been described as the "tenant from hell" – trashing homes and making life miserable for her neighbours.
In the space of just three months Antonyanne Reihana – a 38-year-old mother of 10 – has been ordered by the Tenancy Tribunal to pay $12,000 for repairs to a state house that was trashed and abandoned, and then to leave a privately owned home after neighbours complained of late-night visitors, police raids, all-night parties, threats and intimidation.
Security guards had to escort a landlord doing an inspection of the second property. Reihana is believed to have gang connections, but told the Sunday Star-Times she no longer associated with such people.
"I believe I'm a good neighbour ... I pay my rent... all I want to do is live peacefully. If people only gave me a chance," she said.
A source familiar with Reihana said "tenants from hell" like her were a small but significant group who wreaked havoc on communities and proved costly for landlords.
Reihana is believed to have had up to six other adults, including relatives and partners, and numerous children crowded into her homes.
