Document background
The Eviction Notice Due To Non Payment Of Rent is a crucial document in New Zealand's residential tenancy framework, used when tenants have fallen behind in their rent payments. This notice must be issued in accordance with the Residential Tenancies Act 1986 and subsequent amendments, providing tenants with a minimum 14-day notice period. It is typically used after informal attempts to resolve rent arrears have failed, and represents a formal step toward tenancy termination. The document must include specific details about the property, parties involved, exact amounts owed, and clear deadlines for either payment or vacancy. It also needs to inform tenants of their right to remedy the situation by paying all arrears within the notice period. The notice serves as evidence in potential Tenancy Tribunal proceedings and must be carefully prepared to ensure legal compliance and enforceability.
