Wellington landlord Dean Jackson says he doesn't want anyone else falling for the tricks of Abbey Griffiths.

A woman accused of leaving a trail of filth, felines, fraud and unpaid rent in her wake around Wellington faces her fourth eviction in six months.

Abbey Griffiths' former flatmates and landlords say they are speaking out so others don't fall for her tricks.

Those include claims of fraudulent messages, thousands of dollars in rent taken but not passed on to landlords, abandoning cats, and getting evicted owing thousands.

SUPPLIED Abbey Griffiths, of Wellington, who is being accused of ripping off former landlords and flatmates.

With the exception of abandoning cats - which she said she took with her or re-homed - Griffiths said she had "no good explanation for my patterns", before going on to list high rent in Wellington, mental health issues, unemployment, and "next to nothing" government assistance.

"Living on the fly has been the only way to get by, but I am now making a conscious and concerted effort to get my act together, pay back debts and live responsibly," she said in an email to Stuff.

Griffiths claimed to have repaid some of her owing rent, though one landlord - Keith Powell, who she had apparently repaid in full - said he had only seen about one-third of the owed money. Another landlord, apparently in the process of being repaid from a Newtown flat, said he hadn't seen a cent.

Tenancy Tribunal papers show Griffiths was evicted from a flat in Island Bay in January owing $3392 in rent.

Griffiths, who works as a "payment solutions specialist", then moved to Newtown.

SUPPLIED Former landlords have spoken out about Abbey Griffiths who has been evicted from four flats so far in 2018.

Flatmate Rose Sowerby said between late January and early-March she gave Griffiths $960 bond, one week's rent-in-advance, then eight weeks worth of rent - all up totalling $3030.

It was just before eviction that she found out none of that money had been passed on to the landlord, Sowerby said. Tenancy Tribunal papers show the pair were evicted owing $2911.

That landlord confirmed he never saw any rent nor bond and, as far as he knew "Abbey was pocketing it herself and having a right old time".

Papers show she moved onto a flat in Waitoa Rd, Hataitai, where Tommaso Biscardi and his girlfriend moved in with her.

In their time there, they gave Griffiths close to $1800 in rent and bond, which was never passed on to the landlord, Biscardi said.

She was messy and her cats used the shower as a toilet, he said.

When Biscardi asked for a number for the landlord, he got a call from the so-called landlord, "Michael".

"Two days later I found out he wasn't the landlord - from the real landlord, when he kicked [Abbey] out."

Tenancy Tribunal papers show Griffiths - or Griffins on these papers - was evicted owing $2399.

The landlord, who asked not to be named, said the case had to go back for a further hearing because her name was wrong in documents, but his main sympathy was with Biscardi and his girlfriend.

From there, she moved to Kingston, where landlord Dean Jackson is currently working through eviction proceedings.

"Abbey said I could call her Hataitai 'landlord' for a reference ... He sounded genuine and said all the right things."

It turned out that "landlord" was Michael - the same "landlord" given to the former Hataitai flatmate.

He was yet to see any rent or bond but had heard excuses. On Sunday, she became 21 days overdue in rent meaning he could start Tenancy Tribunal proceedings.

While 2018 had seen a flurry of unpaid landlords, they were not the first. Documents show that Griffiths was kicked out of a Miramar flat with two others in 2016 owing $1586 in rent.

Bethany Beeston, one of her flatmates there, said Griffiths was evicted after not paying rent for 10 weeks. When she moved she simply dumped her five cats - which had spent the entire time living in her room - outside.

"The conditions in that room were horrible [after she left]. It smelled. There was cat poo everywhere."
