Not out by Christmas - pensioner stays past eviction date

Libby Totton Reporter from Matamata Chronicle

He was formally given an eviction notice to be out by Christmas Day from his digs at Te Aroha commercial premises.

But 74-year-old pensioner Dave Stewart - a recent bowel cancer survivor with two colostomy bags and failing eyesight - confirmed on Monday he’s staying put for now.

And his landlords say they aren’t doing anything to enforce the eviction notice, said to have been given as a result of local council pressure as he was living in a commercial zone.
