Undiplomatic impunity: Chinese embassy leaves New Zealand landlord with $900 bill

This seems like they didn't stick around for the damage walk through or someusch rather than malicious damage.

But apparently that's a risk of the business:

In 2018, landlords were warned not to rent to diplomats after the deputy head of mission for the EU’s delegation in New Zealand, Eva Tvarozkova, was cleared from paying $20,000 to cover unpaid rent and damage to a property she rented in Wellington.
