This member's bill from Metira Turei has been drawn from the ballot today. What fun! It probably won't progress, as it will not be supported by National, but you never know with coalition partners - Maori Party will support it, Peter Dunn might.
It provides for:
(1A) A tenancy agreement must include a statement that, when the tenancy terminates,
the tenant has the right to renew the tenancy.
(1B) A tenancy agreement must include a statement of the criteria the landlord must
use to calculate any future rent increase.
(1C) A tenancy agreement must not include a statement that the tenant is required to
pay any fee or other charge for services rendered by any solicitor or letting
agent relating to the grant or assignment of the tenancy.
(1D) A tenancy agreement for a fixed-term tenancy must be for a 3 year term, unless
the landlord and tenant agree otherwise
and only annual rent reviews and the abolition of 42 days notice.
It all looks very vague and with plenty of unforeseen consequences.
