Two lots of tenants have been evicted from the same rental property after complaining about mould and dampness.

The current tenant, who asked to be known as Jaz, moved into a home on Hillsview Cres in Taumarunui in April with her two young children.

But it wasn’t long before she realised the house was infested with cockroaches and mice; and was cold, damp and riddled with mould.

After complaining to the property manager, and requesting a health and safety inspection from the local council, Jaz was served a 90-day eviction notice.

She later found out she was the second tenant in 18 months to be evicted after raising concerns about the property.

Previous tenants Glynn Redshaw and Kelly Lunam confirmed they’d faced similar issues there between December 2015 and March 2018.
