A New Zealand tenant ordered to pay $73,782 for severe rental property damage, including meth lab evidence, after failing to act despite knowing of trespassers and police involvement.
A New Zealand tenant, Minh Quach, has been ordered to pay $73,782 to his landlord for severe damage to a Papakura rental property, including evidence of methamphetamine production.
The Tenancy Tribunal found Quach liable under the Residential Tenancies Act for failing to secure the property, despite knowing others were present and causing harm.
He did not inform the landlord about stolen keys, trespassers, or police involvement until June 2025, even though damage occurred from February to July.
The property was found with human waste, debris, holes in walls, and fire damage, requiring extensive repairs and decontamination.
The tribunal ruled Quach was responsible for the damage regardless of his absence, citing his failure to take reasonable steps like serving a trespass notice or requesting new locks.
