"The Tenancy Tribunal hears disputes between landlords (including Kāinga Ora) and tenants of residential properties, and disputes relating to unit title developments such as apartment buildings. Tenancy Tribunal Adjudicators are required to either be legally qualified or [to] have the knowledge or experience needed for the role. The Residential Tenancies Amendment Act 2020 and the Residential Tenancies (Healthy Homes Standards) Regulations 2019 have significantly expanded the tribunal's role and responsibilities. For example, the monetary threshold of the Tenancy Tribunal for residential tenancy disputes has been doubled from $50,000 to $100,000. The tribunal can now impose pecuniary penalties of up to $50,000 on non-compliant landlords and can issue works orders to compel landlords comply with the Healthy Homes Standards. The chief executive of the Ministry of Business, Innovation and Employment can initiate proceedings against non-compliant landlords."
