It is, however, against the Property Laws Act 2007. Before that it was legit.
I did state it was of dubious legality and the best one can do is delay their access by removing their access to the property and their goods. Note I said keep and not seize. Seizing their goods is not an option. You can make it difficult for them as they would need to get solicitors involved with $ associated to get the goods back quickly. That provides leverage. If a bank is involved expect the solicitors letter immediately. As far as I am aware one can only sell tenant's goods if they're abandoned and they don't remove them when requested though I'm not 100% sure of that.
I am assuming that the tenant has behaved rather badly here and one feels comfortable playing a little dirty in response. An unusual situation.
