新西兰租户Minh Quach被命令向其房东支付73 782美元,以补偿Papakura出租房产遭受的严重破坏,包括生产甲基苯丙胺的证据。
A New Zealand tenant, Minh Quach, has been ordered to pay $73,782 to his landlord for severe damage to a Papakura rental property, including evidence of methamphetamine production.
租赁法庭认定,Quach根据《住宅租赁法》,尽管知道其他人在场并造成损害,但未能保障财产安全,因此应对Quach负责。
The Tenancy Tribunal found Quach liable under the Residential Tenancies Act for failing to secure the property, despite knowing others were present and causing harm.
他直到2025年6月才向房东通报被盗钥匙、入侵者或警方参与的情况,尽管损坏发生在2月至7月。
He did not inform the landlord about stolen keys, trespassers, or police involvement until June 2025, even though damage occurred from February to July.
发现这些财产时发现有人类废物、废墟、墙洞和火灾破坏,需要进行大量维修和清除污染。
The property was found with human waste, debris, holes in walls, and fire damage, requiring extensive repairs and decontamination.
法庭裁定,Quach不管他缺席,都要对损害负责,理由是他未能采取合理步骤,如送达非法侵入通知或要求新锁。
The tribunal ruled Quach was responsible for the damage regardless of his absence, citing his failure to take reasonable steps like serving a trespass notice or requesting new locks.
