Document background
The 60 Day Eviction Notice is a critical document in New Zealand's residential tenancy system, governed by the Residential Tenancies Act 1986 and its subsequent amendments. This notice can only be issued by landlords or their authorized representatives when specific legal grounds exist, such as property sale, major renovations, or family occupation needs. The notice period was established to provide tenants with adequate time to find alternative accommodation while protecting landlords' rights to regain possession of their property for legitimate reasons. The document must contain precise details about the property, parties involved, and specific grounds for termination, while adhering to strict legal requirements regarding format and content. This notice type reflects New Zealand's balanced approach to tenant-landlord relations, requiring justified reasons for termination rather than allowing no-cause evictions.
