Hi all,
I'm hoping someone can direct me to the right place. I've just received a massive quote ($40k) to upgrade a rental which has become vacant in Dunedin. The PM feels that the house needs the work because, in their own words "The tribunal is coming down hard on owners not updating their properties so long gone are the days of just re-renting with the obligitory repairs"
So, I'm curious- is there a WOF coming into play with the new government? Or is there somewhere a checklist of the things a rental property needs?
All I can find is on the tenancy.gov.nz website which states the following: The Residential Tenancies Act 1986 requires landlords to provide and maintain rental properties in a reasonable state of repair. What’s considered ‘reasonable’ depends on the age and character of the property and how long it’s likely to remain habitable and available to be lived in.
Thanks in advance.
