Tenants have excess possessions. Garage is full from the workbench to the door, far too much furniture for the size of the house, always moving furniture around to accommodate more. Shed 3/4 full of stuff just chucked in. I recently did an inspection and unfortunately I was not happy with what I have seen and questioned the real state of cleanliness of the premises, to which he agreed. We are unable to check an internal guttering in the garage due to the amount of gear. I also have concerns on air flow to walls which is being blocked and consider chests of drawers in the hallway a Health & Safety issue, not only to them but to any workman I employ on the premises. I have not been able to find anything on the internet regarding excess possessions, but have suggested via a follow up inspection letter to place in to a storage unit items they are not using and to keep to hallway area clear. Not sure whether I have done the right thing, and just need a bit of guidance. I am not able to visually check carpets and walls due to the amount of furniture. Things are starting to get out of hand.

If you are unhappy with the situation and unsure of your ground of issuing a notice-to-remedy etc, then just issue a 90 day notice to vacate.
Assuming this is periodic tenancy.

Consider the effect no ventilation is having to your property. Piles of junk stop air flow and causes mold.

Thanks Damap for your response, unfortunately my standards are pretty high in my own home and know that everyone lives differently, just worried I am over stepping the mark, but I need to nip this in the bud now.

Yes I have given them 3 months not 14 days to rectify issues, only because it gives them time to sell some of the stuff. Some of the issues can be rectified immediately ie drawers in hallway. Will see what transpires over the next few months, if no improvement will give 90 days. I admit I have backed off without saying anything due to my own standards which people give me grief about as being high. The letter I sent also gave them a rev up on a couple of tenancy breaches. Really considering getting out of rental market, at my age I can't be bothered with grief.
Just another question, if I paid someone to paint house how much would I get back. Rental runs at a loss and owned for 6 years. Just trying to hang in there for capital gains which is now starting to move in the Wellington area.
