Lodge owner who owes $1 million rent to Anglican diocese told to leave Parnell property

The owner of a lodge used for emergency housing in Parnell has been told to vacate the property after defaulting on his land lease, which the Anglican Diocese of Auckland increased from $120,000 to $395,000 a year. The owner, Peter Van De Wiel, 78, who now owes more than $1 million in arrears, says a High Court ruling requiring him to leave the land is unfair, and he is vowing to stay, despite having no guests and no real prospect of paying the debt. 10 January 2024 [View in Browser]( Hello and welcome to your morning briefing from Stuff, bringing you the top stories and news you'll want to read.
