John,
This is to do with upcoming changes to the RTA, affecting rented properties only.
Yes, every landlord should be concerned about it; or every landlord trying to extract every last cent out of their property by renting out the garage or the unconsented granny flat anyway. There seems to be an over supply of these in Auckland, trying to meet the demand of the poulation growth, the lack of affordable housing being built, and those that cannot afford real houses to live in.
I too have one or two that I am looking into; very minor issues 13 years ago to do with pipes penetrating weatherboard walls that didn't get sealed off properly at the time at the completion of a bathroom renovation, and I didn't follow them up.
Does it affect the tenants in any way at all ? NO. But if someone concerned asks in relation to the RTA changes, then I may well go for a skate, so looking to resolve it now. How major is my situation ? Very low risk in all aspects, and there are much bigger fish to be caught out there, but I'm not prepared to take the risk, and am suggesting to all landlords, particulatrly Property Managers, that they should be doing the same !
