I have just been reading the latest (October) NZ Property investor magazine.
In the article on collecting your rent there is reference to an amendment to the RTA and District court rules which states that from 1 April 2013 the tribunals will be able to authorise attachment orders.
My eyes lit up when I read that and rushed off to look up the detail on the DBH web site.
Sure enough there it was on their site it confirmed the fact. The new procedure was due to start up in April 2013.
Being a high user of the tribunal and collections unit I wondered why I was not up to the new "way of doing it".
I plugged that amendment into Goggle and there was the answer. The Department lamented the fact that the change was more complicated than originally thought. Boy of boy I do wonder at times about the staff you draft tenancy legislation and wonder if they ever come out of their warm offices and get their hands dirty like I do.
So now they are saying they will introduce the new procedure in April 2014.
So I put to you fellow landlords.
How do you see the new procedure working.
