The tenants’ rights charity said the most common reason tenants received eviction notices in the first quarter of this year was that the landlord said they intended to sell the rental property. Threshold said some 41 per cent of the eviction notices where the landlord planned to sell that were reviewed by its staff were judged to be invalid.
Threshold said two out of three eviction notices its staff reviewed where the landlord claimed to need use of the property for themselves or a relative were believed to be invalid. In cases reviewed in the first three months of this year, where landlords said they needed the property vacated to carry out renovations, 75 per cent were suspected to be invalid by Threshold advisers.
If a tenant believes an eviction notice is invalid they can take a case to the Residential Tenancies Board , who will rule on the dispute with the landlord.
