Fears tenants will become trapped as landlords avoid new housing standards

• Source: A group of Wellington flatmates have received a nasty shock after discovering they re trapped in a lease because their landlord is biding time before getting the property up to the Healthy Home Standards. Wellington Source: 1 NEWS By Charlie Dreaver for rnz.co.nz The standards have now come into effect, meaning landlords need to get their property up to spec within 90 days of a new tenancy. But renting and student advocates fear more people could become stuck in tenancies they do not want, in poor quality housing. A Wellington renter who wishes to remain anonymous said she and other flatmates have been looking at moving out of their flat and finding replacement tenants.

Fears more tenants will be stuck in tenancies due to new housing standards

But now they have hit a stalemate with the landlord and will have to stay until their agreement runs out next year. “In the past she s been totally cool with swapping people out and has actually been a great landlord, but now these new laws have come into place and she has to play ball, it s not really what she wants, and we re stuck here,” she said. RNZ has seen correspondence between the landlord and tenants confirming the landlord does not want anyone to leave the tenancy and find replacements because they would need to get the house up to the healthy home standards – which she was not yet in the position to do.
