Early in 2018 Mr Grant Robertson suggested tenants in his Wellington Central electorate send him details of their substandard rentals. This was reported at the time and there were photos on social media of his electorate office window covered in emails. The big issue was, it seems, rents being too high for the property and Mr Robertson recommended the tenants take a case to the Tenancy Tribunal to determine if the rent is significantly above market.
To the point of this thread - I've been keeping an eye on the TT database for the flood of decisions.
So far not a one, though possible I may have missed a few. But not hundreds or even dozens.
Quite a few of the actual emails have been posted on the interweb, though not by Mr Robertson. I can supply links if anyone is interested.
