Landlord refuses to fix toilet for months even when poo leaked
Kia ora neighbours, tenants had to move out of their Kelston rental after their landlord failed to fix sewerage problems for months.
The tenants took their landlord Mauri Ora Limited to the tenancy tribunal and said there were times they’d flush the toilet and faeces and toilet paper would come out the other side of the house.
In August 2021, the tenants moved into the rental and noticed sewage was coming out of the trap by the front door for the first month they lived there.
They told Mauri Ora Ltd about it and a plumber was sent and put tape over the trap. The tenants said this made sewage leak out of a trap on the other side of the house instead.
