Hi people, I am posting this question here as I am unfamiliar with the rules here in NZ.
I signed a rental agreement as soon as I arrived in New Zealand. I had made payment from overseas and when arrived at the property, I found it to be very unsatisfactory. But since I didn't have any other option available at that time of the day I had to sign the agreement which was for 3 months.
Now after a few days I am finding difficult to live here. The landlord says since I signed the agreement I have to live here or at-least pay the rent for 3 months. I thought bond money is for that purpose, if i break the agreement then i will not be returned the bond money.
Is there any legal way for me to get out of the agreement?
Thanks.
