SearchFaulty wiring - "nothing has been done"
Hinewai asks:
(updated on Wednesday, November 20th 2013)
How do I get my landlord to fix the wiring in the house? It's been over a year since I notified the landlord of the issue and still nothing has been done.
Our Experts Answer:
As a tenant the Residential Tenancies Act is available for you to use, in the same way it is for a landlord. Therefore you can issue a 14-day notice to remedy the fault and if the landlord does not comply you can take this through to a Tenancy Tribunal hearing. If you are successful the Tribunal may rule for a works order to be issued against the landlord.
