Document background
A 2 Week Eviction Notice is a critical legal document used in New Zealand's residential tenancy system when a landlord needs to terminate a tenancy due to serious breaches of the tenancy agreement or specific statutory grounds. This notice can only be issued under specific circumstances outlined in the Residential Tenancies Act 1986, such as significant rent arrears, substantial damage to the property, assault or threatening behavior, or illegal activity at the premises. The notice must be properly served to the tenant and include specific information such as the grounds for termination, the date of required vacancy, and any potential remedy period. It's essential to note that this type of notice can only be used for serious breaches - less serious matters require longer notice periods under New Zealand law.
