Since the previous tenants moved in about eight months ago there had been no end of trouble with people coming and going at all hours of the day and night, she said.
She was not aware anything had happened until a police officer knocked on the door about 3.30am and they saw about three police cars in the street.
About 9.30am four police cars were at the property and some officers inspected the house while others went door to door again, she said.
Police told them the residents of the house had not been injured but were "at a safe place for now".
A Tenancy Tribunal decision dated March 31 ordered the immediate termination of the tenancy of those residents of the house and recorded that rent had not been paid for at least 21 days.
The four-bedroom, two-bathroom house was listed for rent on Barfoot and Thompson's website in early April.
