The Wellington landlord at the centre of a tenancy dispute with the EU diplomatic mission in Wellington is making a last-ditch appeal to try and get some of the money he is owed.

Eva Tvaroskova successfully claimed diplomatic immunity after the Tenancy Tribunal found she owed Matt Ryan about $20,000 in unpaid rent and damage to his property.

Ryan's written to the head of mission Bernard Savage, asking him to make good on an offer of a negotiated resolution of the matter once the legal issues were resolved.

Tvaroskova's lawyer told Ryan he'd received no instructions to do a deal.

He has written to Savage directly, pointing out the Tribunal noted in its decision that he was the victim of an injustice by the application of diplomatic immunity.

It is understood Tvaroskova will be leaving the country within the next fortnight.
