I'm getting kicked out!

[p.dath]

I'm surprised P.Dart hasn't jumped on this :-)

I was tempted but there are some complications, and not enough info was given. For example, its not clear to me that SideWinder has met the legal definition of "tenant", and could possibly be considered a "border" which has different rules.

All in all, I reckon he's best to get out as soon as he's ready.

I'll give you one more thing to consider. Frequently crimes are committed by related parties (especially violent crimes!). Anyway perhaps SideWinder's flatmates had some involvement in his gear being stolen ... oh the conspiracy theories!

In general a tenant must give a landlord at least three weeks’ (21 days’) written notice when they want to end the tenancy. A landlord may allow a tenant to give shorter notice. This should be stated in writing. A landlord must generally give a tenant at least three months’ (90 days’) written notice to end the tenancy. However, if the property is needed for the landlord’s family members or employees, or there is an agreement to sell and the buyer wants the property empty, then the notice period is six weeks (42 days). If 42 days’ notice is given the landlord must inform the tenant why the notice is not 90 days.

$19.40?

They sound like a pair of wankers. Just move out and save yourself the bullshit.

(or take a shit in the cistern of the toilet on your last day)

EDIT: Do they have contents insurance you can claim your gear on to fuck up their no claims?

This is one classic exemption I have seen:

http://www.legislation.govt.nz/act/p...l&p=1#DLM95000

This Act shall not apply in the following cases:

(n) Where the premises continue to be used, during the tenancy, principally as a place of residence by the landlord or by any member of the landlord's family:

This means if the landlord or any of their family lives at the same address the Residential Tenanices act does not apply.

You often see this catch because Kiwi's love to buy an investment property and get in flatmates to help pay it off. Well those flatmates have almost no rights, as they don't have the protection of the act.

Two cents to think about.

Nah you are not...they have sub let the room.........

[Mully]

Nah you are not...they have sub let the room.........

Were they allowed to sublet the room?? A lot of tenancy agreements say they can't.

Not that I'm suggesting you tell on them to the owner or anything......

Well, were I a bitch, I would suggest to them that they have to prove you were involved or let you add to their claim.

oh so i can add to there claim? is that legal or big dodgy?

If you were living there (in fact, if any of your stuff was there) you should be able to claim on their insurance.

is it up to them tho?

[p.dath]

That holds no water.

They don't have to prove anything, and it is completely up to them what they claim for on their insurance policy - it's their policy.

Shoot them and get free room and board for the next ten !
