A woman has been ordered to repay $10,000 in rent arrears after a court heard she had not paid rent since April 2020.

Landlord Simon Kennedy brought the case before Magistrate Ngaio Emanuel, seeking to recover $9,000 in unpaid rent. Legal fees pushed the total to $10,000.

Magdalene Prince, who still occupies the property, represented herself and admitted she was behind on payments, though she said she had resumed paying rent.

Her initial offer to repay $150 monthly was rejected as inadequate. A compromise was later reached for her to pay $300 a month. If she is unable to meet the terms, the court will help relocate her.

The first payment is due at Kennedy’s attorney’s office at the end of June.

  1. That judge stupid to make that call, 5yrs n she still living there… He was getting paid in another form but now it done the landlord wa try play spiteful

    By the first month, you done a get notice for non payment so 5yrs nuh possible

  2. People have it harder than many would want to suggest. One only have to talk to many landlords and you see how delinquent many tenants are even as many of them are living in less than “favourable” living conditions. The notion that people are doing so well and the economy is booming is a dream, a fantasy and a delusion. Maybe for some but many are living hand to mouth monthly.
