Hello all,
I recently bought a house in nz which was tenanted. What I have just found out is that when I settled on 29.4.04 my tenant deposited a weeks rent to the previous landlord on 1.4.04. We informed her of the exchange of contracts after the 1st April. How can I retrieve this weeks rent back.
Thanks to all who reply to this postHi Mitzu,
Not sure how it works in nz, but I would have thought your solicitor should have calculated this on settlement date. Along with the difference in rates, etc, the rent should have been adjusted also and reflected in the final price that was settled. Check with whoever handled your settlement.
Cheers,

Hi Mitzu,
Certainly a question I would be firing off to the solicitor/conveyancer who handled the transaction.
If it is any consolation – consider one weeks rent in the context of what you are trying to do and it doesn’t amount to much – sure it is good to have but……….
