«Breaking News» Owner of $2.2million house in Auckland faces legal nightmare as tenants lock themselves inside

One unlucky landlady got more than she bargained for after she asked her 'tenant from hell' to move out of her $2.2million rental property.

Nina Zhao, 34, issued an eviction notice in June after a routine inspection at her rental property in St Heliers, Auckland, revealed her tenant was subletting illegally.

But to make matters worse, the new occupants refused to move out of the four-bedroom home, leaving the landlady at a loss.

When she arrived at the home, Ms Zhao found the $2.2million property 'like a rubbish dump' with garbage everywhere (pictured), including cans of urine in the overgrown garden

Ms Zhao told the publication she listed the property on Chinese website Skykiwi as a way to earn 'easy income' and had only rented to the man because he looked okay.

'My father accepted the tenant after looking at him, because he looked decent and was dressed like a businessman,' Ms Zhao told the NZ Herald.

Over the two years that the man rented the property, Ms Zhao said she didn't conduct any routine inspections because she didn't think it was necessary.

It was only when the 34-year-old decided she wanted to move into the house that she conducted her first property inspection.

When she arrived at the home, Ms Zhao found the $2.2million property 'like a rubbish dump' with garbage everywhere - including cans of urine in the overgrown garden.

'There was a padlock on every bedroom door and l learned from the occupants that he has been collecting rent from them and making a profit,' she said.

When Ms Zhao took the matter to the Tenancy Tribunal, but she was informed there was no dispute because the eviction notice period had already ended on July 14.

While the tribunal confirmed the remaining occupants were not lawfully entitled to remain in the house after the lease ended, they said their presence was 'confusing'.  

Ms Zhao later approached some of the occupants to ask them to leave, but she was allegedly greeted with a range of bizarre characters.

One of the illegal occupants allegedly told Ms Zhao: 'I will pay rent only if you take off your pants.'

After allegedly being threatened by some of the occupants, Ms Zhao reached out to police for assistance, but was informed there was nothing they could do.

New Zealand Property Investors Federation executive officer Andrew King told NZ  Herald it's incredible the police weren't prepared to offer their assistance to Ms Zhao.

He said she was given poor advice and the scenario is a classic example of how fractured the Tenancy Tribunal system is in New Zealand.

When the original tenant was evicted, any sub tenants were also required to leave, he said.

Mr King added, if Ms Zhao had been aware of her rights, she would have known she could have engaged a court bailiff to remove them if they refused to vacate.

It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.

Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
