Rejected petition Reimburse landlords affected by eviction ban
We want the government to reimburse financially all landlords affected by the poorly thought out blanket eviction ban.
Landlords have been denied access to justice and unable to evict extremely troublesome tenants all the while suffering more financial losses by the day.
Enough is Enough!
More details
Landlords have been forced to shoulder the burden of govt's poorly thought out legislation passing on their responsibilities to the landlords.
Blanket ban on eviction, instead of targeting the small minority of genuine cases means that landlords are completely powerless against tenants who willfully withold rent, who have had substantial rent arrears pre-covid, causing property damage or other ASB issues.
It's extremely unjust to deny landlords of their right to justice and their own property.
