Document background
The No Cause Eviction Notice is a crucial document in New Zealand's residential tenancy system, though its traditional name is somewhat misleading since the 2020 legislative changes. Under current New Zealand law, landlords must provide specific grounds for termination, making this document more accurately described as a termination notice with stated cause. It is used when a landlord needs to end a tenancy for legally permitted reasons such as property sale, major renovations, or change of use. The notice must comply with the Residential Tenancies Act 1986 (as amended) and include specific information such as the grounds for termination, notice period, and termination date. This document is particularly important for property managers and landlords to ensure legal compliance while maintaining professional relationships with tenants.
