Wellington mega-landlord Matthew Ryan’s companies placed in receivership

Disgraceful. This bloke had the audacity to strangle a woman and wave firearms around while running a slumlord empire. Yet the system kept letting him operate. Where was the Tenancy Tribunal? Where was the police? Completely failed the tenants.

really mate, completely failed. My cousin rented from him and the place was moldy as.

Phoenix Reid2026-07-21T01:15:38.000Z

Bloody hell, this is awful. I feel so sorry for the tenants stuck in his properties. Hope they get sorted quickly.

just another day in the NZ rental market. Landlord gets caught doing dodgy stuff, government does nothing, tenants suffer. story of my life tbh

Ruby Fraser2026-07-21T02:14:38.000Z

Exactly. Nothing changes until we make it harder for them to hide behind shell companies.

About time someone pulled the plug on this joker. But watch, he'll be back under a new company name in six months.

Jack Morrison2026-07-21T02:33:38.000Z

mate he'll be running a new empire within a year, watch. they always do.

Ruby Fraser2026-07-21T01:48:38.000Z

Can't say I'm surprised. The whole property management industry is a dog show. Seen so many landlords cut corners like this.

Mia Carter2026-07-21T02:31:38.000Z

lol gonna be 'consulting' and doing the exact same crap

RNZ2026-07-21T01:56:38.000Z

The real crime is that it took criminal charges before anyone acted on the companies. So much for proactive regulation.

RNZ2026-07-21T02:22:38.000Z

gutless. We need a public register of dodgy landlords, not empty promises.

Jack Morrison2026-07-21T02:13:38.000Z

ffs more of this crap. Tenants need real protection, not just receivership after the damage is done.

Jack Morrison2026-07-21T02:36:38.000Z

yeah nah seen it before. justice system is a joke when it comes to property moguls

Phoenix Reid2026-07-21T02:24:38.000Z

I saw one of his properties near Newtown – absolute dump. Should have been condemned years ago.

Mia Carter2026-07-21T02:40:38.000Z

Let me guess: the receivers will find the companies have no assets, and the tenants get nothing. Classic.

Ruby Fraser2026-07-21T03:09:38.000Z

meanwhile rental prices keep going up and quality keeps going down. we're all just paying for these clowns' mistakes.

Phoenix Reid2026-07-21T03:26:38.000Z

prices never go down but quality sure does 🙄
