UK family receives $18,000 compensation for unliveable NZ rental; landlord seeks rehearing.
A UK family, Simon and Lynne Usher, received over $18,000 in compensation for renting an "unliveable" house in New Zealand, citing multiple maintenance failures, including broken appliances and mould. They successfully took their landlord, Richard Pretious, to the Tenancy Tribunal under the Residential Tenancies Act. Pretious is seeking a rehearing, with proceedings on hold until November.
