Regulations published to support tenancy laws for victim/survivors
March 17, 2023 at 3:26 PM
From the New Zealand Family Violence Clearinghouse - https://nzfvc.org.nz/node/4841
Regulations were published in December 2022 that support the new tenancy laws designed to help victim/survivors.
Regulations for Tenancies Act changes that support victim/survivors
The Residential Tenancies Amendment Act (RTAA) 2020 includes changes that allow victims of family violence to end a tenancy early. This change came into effect on 11 August 2021.
Regulations to support this law change took effect on 29 December 2022. The regulations provide guidance for tenants and landlords on how to use the law.
The law allows a tenant who experiences family violence during their tenancy to withdraw from the tenancy by giving the landlord at least 2 days’ written notice without financial penalty or the need for agreement from the landlord.
Victim/survivors need to provide a withdrawal notice and evidence of family violence to the landlord. The regulations set out what information victim/survivors need to include in the withdrawal notice, what can be used as evidence of family violence, how to provide the information and what to do if there other tenants.
TenancyServices has information on their website about withdrawing from a tenancy following family violence. This includes forms and templates for withdrawal notice and evidence of family violence.
