Dwelling constructed without a building consent of any kind
Dwelling had a building consent but not approved for human residence e.g. garage
Dwelling has a building consent for permanent human residence but does not have code of compliance for being rented separately e.g. granny flat
Building consent for permanant human habitation but owner has added facilities such as a kitchenette
Dwelling has consent but the owner has added extra rooms so part of dwelling is unlawful e.g. House that had an outside deck that has been closed in by adding walls.
Where a property has a major and minor dwelling and the minor dwelling has consent but is not compliant it can’t be rented separately to the main dwelling. In this case the property would need to be rented as a single Tenancy Agreement.
Where a dwelling is unlawful, tenants can give 48 hours’ notice or apply to the Tribunal to end a tenancy. The tenant does not have to pay rent in unlawful premises. Court cases in relation to minor dwellings have seen rent repaid in full for the period of the tenancy.作者: bubugu 时间: 2017-10-19 22:11:16
