"An authoritative work providing up-to-date, clear and practical guidance on the law relating to residential tenancies in New Zealand. After 25 years of operation of the Residential Tenancy Act 1986, there is now a significant body of case-law on the Act, including decisions of the District Court, High Court and Court of Appeal. These decisions are the primary source of interpretation and application of the Act, and the current edition includes substantial commentary on, and analysis of, this significant body of case-law. The book also discusses the functions and powers of the Tenancy Tribunal, and the important role of mediation under the Act"--Back cover.

Residential Tenancy Law in New Zealand is a practical analytical text offering in-depth discussion and practice based guidance on how to navigate the Residential Tenancies Act 1986. The book follows the logical progression of tenancy in New Zealand, starting with an introduction to the topic and analysis of the governing legislation before moving into the formation of tenancy agreements. The next chapters deal with bonds, rent and the rights and obligations of landlords and tenants with regard to a tenancy. There is a separate chapter on boarding house tenancies as well as final chapters on termination of tenancy and dispute resolution in the tenancy tribunal and by mediation. The expert commentary is supported by extensive case law analysis. The value in having such a large number of case law references in the book is that it opens up access to legal precedents which were previously difficult to access. The author has incorporated the huge number of headnotes he has written into the text which provides users with never seen before scenarios, detail and application. This text is right up to date and includes discussion of the Holler v Osaki case and its implications for landlords and tenants, and the recently passed Healthy Homes Guarantee Act 2017. Stewart Benson, is a Tenancy Tribunal adjudicator and author of nearly 1,000 case headnotes in the Thomson Reuters Tenancy Law Cases Database. His unique knowledge of the case law and intricacies of the Tribunal have come together in an essential resource written to arm practitioners, property managers, tenants and advocacy groups with the best understanding of the law.
