The Scumbag Landlords National and ACT will protect

Week after week after week after week we keep getting these stories about abusive Scumbag Landlords abusing tenants…

Landlord owing over $11,000 to tenants says she doesn’t need to know the law

A Christchurch landlord ignored insulation rules, failed to lodge the bond or instal smoke alarms – and for three years refused to give her tenants the code for the front door lock.

Robyn Moffitt, who manages multiple Christchurch tenancies, was last year ordered by the Tenancy Tribunal to pay her Linwood tenants more than $11,000 in compensation and damages.​ To date, they have received only $200.

Moffitt told Stuff just because she was a landlord did not mean she was obligated to know the rules.

…charming.

These are the Scumbag Landlords that ACT and National intend to empower and protect ion they are elected this year!

National has pledged to appeal interest deductibility, bright line extension plus the healthy homes legislation while freezing State House builds!

This will empower these Scumbag Landlords.

Every renter must know their rents will go up if National and ACT are elected as the Government and the imbalance of power between Landlord and Tenant will be constructed to benefit the Scumbag Landlords, not the tenants.

There are good decent landlords and we need to celebrate them, but the Scumbag Landlords are where the problems are.

Sadly Labour refuses to protect renters. Let’s hope the Greens and the Maori Party can.
