Also worth noting that the usual 90-days’ notice to vacate can be reduced to 42 days if the house is sold or is wanted by the landlord for a family member. This is not uncommon and is a panic-inducing situation for the tenant.
The Residential Tenancies Act does not cover tenants living alongside the landlord, whether they are “boarding” or flatting. In this situation, which is common, the landlord is not required to give the tenant any notice at all to vacate, except they must wait for the rent already paid to expire. (ie. if you’ve paid a week or a fortnight in advance, that time must elapse)

Speaker: The problem of “horror tenants”…, in reply to RBentley,
I've had great landlords and awful ones, most are somewhere in the middle.
But bottom line, if landlords get ripped off, they still have somewhere to live. Landlords can make tenants homeless. NZ does not offer tenants the legal protections given in some European countries.
With that possibility hanging over tenants, is it any wonder we don't fight for our legitimate rights when we are shortchanged? It's like asking the boss for better conditions when they can fire you at will.

I was walking on the beach just now as it was getting dark. Then I became aware there was a guy behind me...and that that he had put the whole depth of the beach between us.
When guys understand the fear women feel alone in public spaces, and communicate that. Thank you.

Up Front: Lighting the Dark, in reply to Moz,
Thanks for instructing me as to how I should feel about that, I’ll keep it in mind next time something I read here upsets me.
I was explaining the context. You were the one telling others how to behave.
If you don't know the people and their comment is ambiguous, one approach is to ask the poster what they meant, rather than automatically smacking them down. PAS people are usually more than happy to explain what they mean if it's unclear.
I think it’s useful to keep in mind that this forum is not a private chat area for a group of close friends, it’s an open forum. In-jokes that require people to know and keep track of all the relationships between posters in order for them to be funny rather than triggering are, at best, in poor taste.
We're you. personally, triggered?

Up Front: Lighting the Dark, in reply to Moz,
I’m going to pash you so hard the next time I see you.
I think this deserves a dishonourable mention for missing the point. And should be highlighted.
Because normally it’s men getting hassled for saying “men get sexually assaulted too”, rather than women threatening to do it.
Moz, you're missing the point. Jackie and Craig are friends, and Jackie was expressing her affection. No sexual assault was intended or should be inferred.

I think Emma said it better, but this is a persuasive video.

Hard News: Circumstance and coincidence, in reply to Michael Meyers,
last night's story felt like a Winston Peters-style smoking gun rather than an actual conspiracy.
Like the Winebox?
