Tenant's 'nightmare' as landlords refuse to pay $4k ordered by tribunal

Melanie Earley Reporter from Western Leader

Kia ora neighbours, a tenant in New Lynn says she has been left in a “nightmare” after her landlords left a renovation job unfinished and refused to pay her thousands of dollars that was awarded by the Tenancy Tribunal.

Anna Boivin has been living in a rental for 12 years with her son and daughter. In 2011, Boivin got new landlords, Mingjun Chen and Min Cao, who she said would “randomly appear” in her house for inspections.

The rental itself was in need of repairs, Boivin said, as it was an older home – but whenever she mentioned issues to Chen and Cao, nothing would get fixed.
