Wellington landlord ordered to pay student a thousand dollars compensation

The Tenancy Tribunal has found landlord David Huang breached his obligations by interfering with his tenant Caitlin Bates' quiet enjoyment of the property.

Bates is a student who's home every day until 2pm - and the building goes from 7.30am to 5pm, Monday to Friday.

The Tribunal adjudicator says the builders were playing music loudly and using a toilet inside the premises until spoken to about it.

Building materials are also left strewn around the outside of the house.
