为什么不能去tenancy tribunal? 这是一个可以巅峰时期住十几人的房
那么符合residential tenancy 的boarding house 的定义 occupied, or intended by the landlord to be occupied, by at least 6 tenants at any one time
77Jurisdiction of Tribunal
(2)(ma) to make an order declaring a house rule of a boarding house unlawful, or requiring a landlord to apply a house rule in a particular manner, or to vary a house rule, or to set a house rule aside:
In a boarding house, a tenant rents a room, rather than the whole house. They share facilities such as the kitchen and bathroom with the other tenants. A boarding house is occupied, or intended to be occupied, by at least six tenants at any time.
Boarding house tenancies are different to standard tenancies
Boarding house tenancies and standard tenancies share a lot of the same requirements under the Residential Tenancies Act. However, some things apply only to boarding houses, such as the landlord being able to make house rules. A boarding house tenancy is intended to last 28 days or more.
The other difference between a boarding house tenancy and a standard tenancy agreement is that you can’t have a fixed term tenancy in a boarding house.
Landlords need to ensure they comply with their local council requirements before establishing a boarding house, including obtaining the necessary resource consents. You may need to make changes to the property to meet these requirements. You can find out more about these requirements and establishing a boarding house by contacting your local council.
The landlord of a boarding house is allowed to make house rules. These set out how the boarding house can be used and enjoyed, and what services will be provided. The landlord can change the rules at any time, but must give each tenant at least seven days’ written notice of the new rules.
The landlord must give the tenant a copy of the rules at the start of the tenancy, and make sure copies are displayed in the boarding house.
The house rules are not allowed to breach the Residential Tenancies Act or any other law (for example, the Human Rights Act or the Privacy Act). If a tenant believes a house rule breaches the law, they can apply to the Tenancy Tribunal. The Tribunal will decide whether the rule is allowed or not, or may tell the landlord to change the way the rule is applied.
