I haven't rented since I was single but I cant believe some of the conditons in this agreement. E.g No alcohol to be consumed outside? Seriously. You cant have a beer while cooking on the Barbie. That almost a constitutional right in NZ! I am really glad I do not have to rent these days. I guess landlords impose these sort of conditions because they can get away with it but that still doesn't make it right!

40) No outside taps, hydrants and other such things are not to be used (eg. Hose )-----to wash vehicles.Last edited by Perry; 11-03-2016, 09:46 AM.

News just in ...
The Minister of Transport has just introduced a new Bill banning the driving of Ford Falcons on any public road. The Minister quotes recent Police statistics which show that drivers of Ford Falcons are three time more likely commit traffic offences than the drivers of other vehicles.

Reality Check Needed
Banning an outside barbecue, etc., is likely to fall foul of the RTA, anyway.
38 Quiet Enjoyment (Abridged)
Originally posted by RTA(1) The tenant shall be entitled to have quiet enjoyment of the premises
without interruption by the landlord or any person claiming by, through,
or under the landlord or having superior title to that of the landlord.
(4) In this section premises includes facilities.
Originally posted by RTA(1) Any agreement or arrangement, or any provision of any agreement or
arrangement, entered into in respect of a tenancy to which this Act
applies, that is inconsistent with any of the provisions of this Act,
or that purports to exclude, modify, or restrict the operation of any
such provision, shall be of no effect . . .
(3) Any purported waiver by a tenant of any right or power conferred
upon tenants by this Act shall be of no effect.
a beer in hand would be classed as "quiet enjoyment" pursuant to the RTA
and any TA clause seeking to curtail that would trigger section 11, to
the detriment of the LL or PM.

Originally posted by Shalodge View PostThis sort of attitude prevails right through our society now. E.g. I will ban the drinking of alcohol outdoors at my rental because a very small number of tenants have been know to get drunk and break things. Our freedoms are being steadily eroded without a murmur.
Most countries don't have laws about cyclists wearing helmets.
Though I notice Sydney seems to be heading that way recently - probably a bunch of freedom stealers there have just got into power?

Who knows what rules are made by the TT. However, it makes your stance considerably stronger.
Numerous times the RTA discussess terms like permission may not be unreasonably with held.
If you take the stance that permission will not be given under any circumstances you are better off.
EG, no dogs means no dogs.

Originally posted by TomW View PostHave found tenants use fire hoses (each block of flats has one) to clean cars etc. The hoses are not for this purpose and also the landlord has to pay for the water charges for the fire hoses.
