SearchHow can I get my bond back?

Our Experts Answer:
The Residential Tenancies Act only applies to the relationship between a tenant and landlord. It does not cover the relationship between a tenant and a flatmate. I recommend that you seek independent legal advice from your local community law centre about what you can do to recover your bond from the tenant. You might also like to check out www.flatting101.co.nz for information about flatting agreements.The Department of Building and Housing provides information and guidance on building law and compliance, services including weathertight homes, and advice for tenants and landlords.
