Kaye Stirling

Kaye Stirling is a tribunal adjudicator known for her expertise in tenancy law in New Zealand. She gained attention for her recent ruling concerning a tenant in Auckland who was accused of running a brothel from his apartment. In her decision, Stirling emphasized the legal framework surrounding prostitution, particularly the Prostitution Reform Act 2003, which decriminalizes small owner-operated brothels in residential homes. Her ruling highlighted the distinction between living arrangements and commercial activities, ultimately siding with the tenant and allowing him to remain in his apartment despite the allegations.
