Summary
A Christchurch couple won a sweet victory at the Tenancy Tribunal after landlords failed to fix a broken water feature for two years — the court awarded them $400 and ordered their $4,000 bond returned. The tenants fought back against landlords’ inflated claims — including a $14,000 bill for a leak they’d reported — which were all tossed out. The landlords’ own $4,000 ensuite leak claim? Also dismissed. This wasn’t their first rodeo — similar complaints had been rejected earlier this year — but this time, justice finally sided with the tenants, highlighting how tenant rights can prevail even when disputes drag on for years.
