Like… that kind of sucks… but I also love to see landlords denied clawing back security deposits for bullshit reasons.
Also, for an embassy building 900 bucks is fucking nothing.
Imagine trying to stir anti-chinese sentiment over $900 that a landlord thinks they’re owed. Laughable effort, really.
If anything, I respect that embassador more now.
Chandler said he would not rent property to embassies again.
“No more diplomats, and according to our property manager, that’s the advice he gives to others in the same area as well,” he told Stuff.
This seems like they didn’t stick around for the damage walk through or someusch rather than malicious damage.
But apparently that’s a risk of the business:
In 2018, landlords were warned not to rent to diplomats after the deputy head of mission for the EU’s delegation in New Zealand, Eva Tvarozkova, was cleared from paying $20,000 to cover unpaid rent and damage to a property she rented in Wellington.
Show me a picture of the property after it was vacated. Sounds like the landlord is being a typical bastard. A landbastard if you will.
