Summary
Tenants in Christchurch fought back when their landlord’s mom, Ying Sin, turned their rental into a chaotic circus—showing up unannounced, even catching one tenant naked with her boyfriend. The Tenancy Tribunal sided with them, awarding $1,500 for lost peace and $1,000 for botched repairs, but rejected their request for exemplary damages, calling Sin “clueless” about her inappropriate behavior. One tenant called the ruling a “slap in the face,” frustrated after a year of disruption and failed attempts to rein in Sin, who acted like an unofficial project manager despite not being part of the tenancy. While the landlord wasn’t found malicious, the constant intrusions made living in the home nearly impossible. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
