A landlord said no to a tenant’s Labrador. The Tenancy Tribunal said yes.

In this episode, Ed and Andrew unpack the first major Tenancy Tribunal ruling under New Zealand’s new pet laws – including what counts as a “reasonable refusal,” why the landlord lost, and what this means for rental property owners going forward. You’ll learn:

  • Why landlords can no longer simply say “no pets” by default
  • The conditions the Tribunal imposed before allowing the dog
  • What arguments are – and aren’t – likely to hold up at Tribunal

Main lesson? The rules around pets have fundamentally changed. Landlords can still refuse animals in some situations… but they now need clear, evidence-based reasons that would stand up under scrutiny.
