Landlord verbally abused tenant, accused her of sex work
Kia ora neighbours,
An Auckland landlord verbally abused his tenant and accused her of being a sex worker, a tribunal has found.
Landlord James Francis was ordered by the Tenancy Tribunal to pay $1520 to the woman for breaching her quiet enjoyment of the property and failing to have a tenancy agreement in writing.
The woman lived at a rental property in Waimauku in Auckland’s northwest, and Francis had a separate house on the same property.
Francis kept an eye on when the tenant left the house and had CCTV which he used to watch her movements, the tribunal heard.
