I have an issue with my accommodation
Sometimes things can go wrong with your flatmates, your landlord, or your accommodation. This page is to help you know your rights, to help prevent problems from arising, and help you know what to do when things go wrong.

The Community Law Manual is written in everyday language, the manual contains over 1000 pages of easy-to-read legal info and comprehensive answers to common legal questions.
From ACC to family law, health & disability, jobs, benefits & flats, Tāonga Māori, immigration and refugee law and much more, the manual covers just about every area of community and personal life.
It’s for people living in Aotearoa New Zealand (and their advocates) to help themselves.

If you think your landlord isn’t following the rules, contact the Tenancy Services Compliance and Investigations team:

Flatmates are not covered by the Residential Tenancies Act, and it can be difficult to resolve disagreements. We recommend signing a flat/house sharing agreement to make sure everyone understands their rights and responsibilities. Here is a template you can use: Flat/house - sharing agreement (tenancy.govt.nz)
Only landlord-tenant disputes are heard by the Tenancy Tribunal. If there are any issues between tenants or flatmates, you can go to the Disputes Tribunal.

Happiness House in Queenstown is a local charity helping our local community by offering social, emotional and practical support.
They sometimes have spare blankets and pillows if you are feeling the cold. You are also more than welcome to pop in and heat up your food and sometimes they may have some soup on the stove.
Happiness House is a place you can sit down and have a cup of tea, read a book, or have a chat.
