My landlord is constantly coming onto the property. Can I stop them?

Question

Accepted Answer

Even though your landlord owns the house, they aren't allowed to threaten, harass or bully you. As the tenant, you have the right to the ‘quiet enjoyment’ of your place. This means the landlord (and people who work for or represent them) can’t interfere with your reasonable peace, comfort and privacy in using the property. If your landlord interferes with these rights in a way that amounts to harassment, the Tenancy Tribunal can fine them up to $2000. If you think your landlord is harassing you, contact Tenancy Services for advice about what to do.
