We believed that most people would be unsure and unclear with some clauses regards the New Zealand Tenancy Agreements.
Generally clauses likely to be unenforceable are clauses that: Ask a tenant to do more than the Act requires them to do; Try to remove or reduce the tenant’s rights or give the landlord more rights; Evade the requirements of the Act.
Today Let's explore the unenforceable clauses in New Zealand Tenancy Agreements by viewing the Q&A examples we used to receive below:
Q:
" If I should clean the carpets professionally before moving out ? "
A:
No need professional cleaning, a tenant only has to leave the premises in a reasonably clean and tidy condition. Tenants do not have to have the carpets professionally cleaned.
Q:
"As a Tenant, should we must replace stove elements, fuses and tap washers as they wear out ? "
A:
No need to replace generally, landlord is responsible for maintaining the premises to a reasonable state of repair.
Q:
" If my tenants must give more than 28 days' written notice to end a periodic (ongoing) agreement ? "
A:
Not really, under the Act, the tenant only needs to give at least 28 days' written notice to end this type of agreement.
Q:
" My current landlord want us to pay four weeks' bond plus two weeks' extra bond for the landlord allowing a dog, if it is reasonable?"
A:
It is kind of breaching the Act, usually the law only allows a maximum of four weeks' rent as a bond.
Q:
" My current landlord have the strictly limitation for our visitors, if this reasonable ?"
A:
The tenant is entitled to quiet enjoyment of the property while they are renting it. This clause would breach that entitlement.
Q:
" As a landlord, if I can ask my tenant to pay for fixed water charges.?"
