Summary
A Wellington family was trapped in a crumbling, mould-ridden rental—sleeping in the lounge as bedrooms collapsed around them—while their newborn arrived and their son’s bag turned mouldy in just two weeks. Faced with a property manager who refused to help, they turned to the Tenancy Tribunal, which fast-tracked their case under a new pilot program for urgent health and safety threats.

This case exposes how long others may be waiting in dangerous conditions—and how pilot programs like this could be the lifeline they need.
