Seven-day tenant termination for meth use slammedFiona Goodall Chemicals and equipment found in one of 75 methamphetamine manufacturing labs discovered over the past year by police. Another big issue was the level of tenant liability for damage to homes. Barrister and Tenancy Tribunal adjudicator Alan Henwood said the proposal setting tenant liability to four weeks rent ignored different rental levels. A tenant in a luxury apartment in Wellington may pay a rent of $2000 a week, capping liability at $8000. Social agencies such as the Salvation Army, and tenant advocacy groups including the NZ Union of Students Associations had similar views.
