Frequently Asked Questions
What if I want to evict the tenant before the end of the tenancy?In New Zealand a landlord cannot personally evict tenants prior to the end of the tenancy. If you wish to evict the tenant early you must apply to the Tenancy Tribunal to have the tenancy terminated.
Note that early eviction is a last resort, the tenant must have either ignored a prior notice or committed a serious lease violation before an eviction can occur.
