The Kent Terrace branch of property management company Quinovic has been accused of attempting to rent out a property after the manager told a tenant it was "unfit for human habitation".



In the Wellington suburb of Mt Cook, 17 Hanson Street is not exactly a looker. The listing on Quinovic's site shows a weather-beaten, run down white villa, speckled with mould.

But, according to previous tenant Molly Black, the real horrors are inside.

"It's just complete trash. No heating, no insulation, holes in ceiling," she told Newshub.

"The floor is slanted, like you can put a bottle down and watch it roll to the other side of the room. There's black mould everywhere."

According to Ms Black, her property manager visited the flat for an inspection on January 28, the day after she moved out. Upon seeing the damage to the house, he said it "wasn't fit for human habitation".

A week later, it was available for rent at $630 per week.
