Landlord verbally abused tenant, accused her of sex work
Kia ora neighbours,
An Auckland landlord verbally abused his tenant and accused her of being a sex worker, a tribunal has found.
Landlord James Francis was ordered by the Tenancy Tribunal to pay $1520 to the woman for breaching her quiet enjoyment of the property and failing to have a tenancy agreement in writing.
The woman lived at a rental property in Waimauku in Auckland’s northwest, and Francis had a separate house on the same property.
Francis kept an eye on when the tenant left the house and had CCTV which he used to watch her movements, the tribunal heard.

Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?
The Australian Prime Minister has expressed plans to ban social media use for children.
This would make it illegal for under 16-year-olds to have accounts on platforms including TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and X.
Social media platforms would be tasked with ensuring children have no access (under-age children and their parents wouldn’t be penalised for breaching the age limit)
.
