Fellas i need help eh.

background info:

my dad owns 3 properties, out in east auckland, so pretty good tenants high standard of livings blah blah blah.

tenants are mainly family type

any how onto the issues:

1. one stupid tenanent, was a poor bastard, who obviously couldnt afford to live in the home. he owned a florist shop that obviously wasnt bringing in the dough. he sent us cheques. of which would bounce back. most of the time he didnt pay on time. we had to chase him up!

result - he got booted out, found another tenant for us, and coughed up the difference in the rent for the remainder of the lease.


background on my father - soffffffffftie!! thinks long term goals, short term speed bumps doesnt matter about it. he just worries that no ones renting the house etc. = loss income.

2. so we just signed a 2 year lease on another fresh new house/property. couple with young child. knew not to have dogs..
well guess what..... my dad was walking by one day...... and there u have it.... hes got a dog now..

he not only breached the contract, BUT he didnt even inform us!!

so im wondering
if he is stubborn and doesnt let the dog go, am i able to evict him and ask him to cough up the 2 years rent aswell?

what avenues can i use to get the dog away!!!!!

i mean whats up with tenants and their dogs man!!
just cause it aint their house doenst mean they can do jack with it eh.


3. another house. because of previous experience, my dads like screw this, i dun need this stress, so has hired a property manager.
HOWEVER THE IDIOT HAS BEEN ON HOLIDAY AND HASNT GOT BACK TO US ETC ETC.

because on this othe other property that this manager looks afta us, well the old tenants have moved out on 24th october to be exact.

which in my books, he should have had 4 WEEKS ALREADY to locate and find a new tenant.

yet the bastard has been on holiday etc. he says he mite have someone move in on friday, ie 2 weeks vacant property.

so my dad has got other agents to place ads to find tenants.

then we got letter today from the manager of house #3, saying that he is in the process of finding another tenant blah blah the sweet talk, then comes back to say that we shouldnt have asked other agents to find us tenants etc.

that because he is the appointed manger of the property, that if another agent rents the property without referring it to him, then it is illegal.


in dad's books, he reackons that the agent is only the manager to the previous tenant, if hes too lazy and unorganised and with 1 months notice cant find another tenant, then what da hell is he doing???

so rightly so, because the house is empty, there are no tenants, and he has yet to find us another tenant,

legally, is my dad right to ask other agents to find us tenants?
