Today Justice Brewer issued an order stating residents of Hum Hospitality can stay living at the Grafton heritage building while they appeal a previous court judgment enforcing Hum to pay GST on top of monthly rent.

Residents of an Auckland community house fighting eviction hope a court judgement will put an end to the landlord s alleged scare-mongering tactics.
Hum Hospitality founder Rosie Armitage was served an eviction notice on March 16 after the lease on the Grafton heritage building was cancelled without notice.
A long-standing legal battle and rent dispute with the landlord – Stylo Medical Services - came to a head over Hum s non-payment of a $1500 GST portion of rent earlier this year.

An eviction notice has been served to the residents of a central Auckland community hub - but the founder is refusing to leave, saying she s prepared to be arrested if it comes to that.
Police were today called to the heritage villa on Grafton Rd that houses Hum, a community centre, café and home to at least 10 people, to serve the order. It comes after founder Rosie Armitage refused to leave following a High Court order for possession of the house to be given to the landlord.
