Hi All, I moved from Christchurch to Hamilton about 6 months ago after managing to fix up my house and a rental property. I am 28 years old and was happy to rent a 2 bedroom basement flat close to waikato uni paying $275. However It was colder than Christchurch last night and I decided to check whether this basement unit I am renting is legal.
I went to Hamilton City Council and they confirmed the place I am renting is illegal. (illegal kitchen and bedrooms). I saw the landlord today and offered him 2 months rent so he can let me out of the contract. He said he will think about it. What are my options? Council asked me whether I would like to make a complain? I said No as they would seal the house and I would have no ware to go. Please help...
