HCNZ's s 43 letters were contradictory and therefore non-compliant but the non-compliance related to identification and would only affect tenant obligations to pay rent until clear notice was given; Tamaki Housing's s 15 letters did not identify TRL and one was sent before acquisition but those defects did not invalidate TRL's later lawful termination because TRL became owner on 1 April 2016 and Tamaki Housing validly acted as TRL's agent to serve the termination; accordingly the appeal is dismissed.
