• Despite receiving 13 complaints and multiple warnings, Danielle Leaf-Marsh continued to disturb her neighbours’ peace, leading to her eviction by the Tenancy Tribunal.
• The tribunal highlighted that Leaf-Marsh’s actions had a significant impact on the mental wellbeing of those living nearby.
Residents in the Parera Crescent subdivision were subjected to incessant noise from Leaf-Marsh’s rental home, which included barking dogs, loud music, and disruptive parties. The situation escalated to the point where 13 complaints were lodged with Kāinga Ora, prompting the issuance of three notices in an attempt to rectify the situation.
Despite repeated warnings and interventions from both Kāinga Ora and Whangārei District Council, Leaf-Marsh failed to comply with noise regulations and continued to disrupt the peace of her neighbours. The disruptive behaviour culminated in an eviction order issued by the Tenancy Tribunal due to the detrimental impact on the community’s mental health.
Adjudicator Toni Prowse emphasized that Leaf-Marsh’s lack of consideration for her neighbours’ wellbeing and repeated breaches of noise regulations warranted the termination of her tenancy. Kāinga Ora’s commitment to being a responsible landlord led to the eviction of Leaf-Marsh, ensuring a peaceful living environment for the community.
The case serves as a reminder of the importance of respecting one’s neighbours and adhering to tenancy regulations to maintain a harmonious living environment.
