Iconic music venue to close after alleged water bill stoush

Nicole Mathewson Reporter from Dunedin News

A popular live music venue has closed after a dispute over a leaking urinal led to a stoush between the tenant and landlord.

Dive owner Michael McLeod confirmed in a statement to Stuff the closure of the live music venue, which he had operated for nearly 6 years, after a series of disputes with his landlord.

The landlord, Chris James, did not respond to a request for comment.

It appears a major sticking point between the parties was a $7000 water rates’ bill, which McLeod claims was seven times the usual annual amount.
