Landlord refuses to fix toilet for months even when poo leaked

Melanie Earley Reporter from Western Leader

Kia ora neighbours, tenants had to move out of their Kelston rental after their landlord failed to fix sewerage problems for months.

The tenants took their landlord Mauri Ora Limited to the tenancy tribunal and said there were times they’d flush the toilet and faeces and toilet paper would come out the other side of the house.

In August 2021, the tenants moved into the rental and noticed sewage was coming out of the trap by the front door for the first month they lived there.

They told Mauri Ora Ltd about it and a plumber was sent and put tape over the trap. The tenants said this made sewage leak out of a trap on the other side of the house instead.

Scam Alert: Bank cold calls

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

ASB is warning customers about reports of cold calls from scammers claiming to be from ASB. These scammers are trying to obtain personal information, including usernames, dates of birth, and verification codes sent to your mobile phone.

🛡️ The "Caller Check" Test
If you get a call from someone claiming to be from ASB and you’re unsure, just ask them for a Caller Check. You will then be able to verify the call through the app.

Remember, banks will:​​
❌ Never ask for your banking passwords, PINs, or verification codes​​
❌ Never need to know your full credit card number – especially the CVC
❌ Never ask you to download software or remotely access your device​​
❌ Never ask you to purchase gift cards or transfer funds.

If you have received a phone call and think your account has been compromised, call ASB on 0800 ASB FRAUD (0800 272 372), or visit your local branch.
