尽管租给无家可归的一对夫妇, 一名新西兰房东拆毁了一所他无力修补的不安全房屋, A New Zealand landlord demolished a unsafe home he couldn’t afford to fix, despite renting it to a homeless couple, and won tribunal support.

一个退休的奥克兰房东在修复一个结构不安全的房屋时负担不起197 000美元,在认为该房屋因干腐、钻机损坏和一个独立烟囱而无法居住后,该房屋被拆毁。 A retired Auckland landlord, unable to afford $197,000 in repairs for a structurally unsafe home, demolished the property after it was deemed uninhabitable due to dry rot, borer damage, and a detached chimney. 尽管出于同情,他租给一对无家可归的夫妇,但由于经济困难和理事会规定的最后期限,他被迫终止租约,包括因不遵守规定而罚款300 000美元。 Despite renting it to a homeless couple out of compassion, he was forced to terminate the tenancy due to financial hardship and council-imposed deadlines, including a $300,000 fine for non-compliance. 租房法庭作出有利于他的裁决,承认他的良好意图和房客对房产状况的认识,同时注意到他们于2025年4月27日离开后被安置在紧急住房中。 The Tenancy Tribunal ruled in his favor, acknowledging his good intentions and the tenants’ awareness of the property’s condition, while noting they were placed in emergency housing after leaving on April 27, 2025.
