Plain language law

New Zealand law explained for everyone

134: Waiver by landlord of breach by tenant
or “If a landlord lets a tenant break a rule once, they can still enforce it later, but the Tenancy Tribunal might consider this if the landlord wants to end the tenancy.”

You could also call this:

“This law explains how you should give money to the government when you're told to.”

If you need to pay any amount to the chief executive because of this Act or an order from the Tribunal, you must use the payment method set out in the rules. These rules are made under section 140 of the Act. The chief executive will only accept payments made in the way described in these rules.
