Tenancy investigators are coming down hard on rule-breaking landlords
Tenancy investigators are coming down hard on rule-breaking landlords
12 January 2020
In the past three years, there have been 15 cases where investigators pushed to have a landlord restrained - on behalf of the tenants they'd wronged.
Most of the cases failed to provide smoke alarms, lodge bonds, install insulation,.
Restraining orders can last up to six years, and if the landlord commits a similar breach in that period - they can be criminally charged rather than just fined.
