Reasons

Both parties attended the hearing which took place by teleconference. [The landlord’s representative] attended for [The landlord/s] and [Tenant 4] attended for the tenants.

The tenants have been renting these premises for approximately 6-7 years. During this time there have been changes in landlord. The most recent tenancy agreement is dated 2021 and names four tenants on the agreement. The parties advised today that [Tenant 2] and [Tenant 3] are no longer living at the premises and are removed as tenants by consent. [Tenant 4]’s wife, [Tenant 1], is added as a tenant party in these proceedings by consent.

There has been a change in landlord agent since the agreement signed in 2021 and [The landlord/s] are the current agents for the owner. They commenced property management in March 2023 and since that time there have been communication problems between the parties.

The tenant stated that there are maintenance issues that need to be addressed and that although the landlord has been advised they have not been fixed. In particular today the tenant raised that the shower is blocked, the oven does not work and there is no letterbox. The landlord has agreed to remedy these issues promptly.

The landlord advised that although the application was for termination and rent and water arrears the tenant has reduced the rent arrears by making lump sum payments and therefore termination is not sought today.

The outstanding rent arrears as recorded in the rent summary provided is $1449.24 and the parties agreed that this will be paid by weekly payments of $800.00 being $630.00 for weekly rent plus $170.00 towards the arrears.

The landlord did not have the up-to-date water charges owed today but will forward this to the tenant who agrees to make arrangements for payment.

The tenant advised today that the email address on the tenancy agreement is for his daughter who is now overseas. He seeks that communication with him be by phone or by letter once the landlord has replaced the letterbox.

Because [The landlord/s] has substantially succeeded with the claim I have reimbursed the filing fee.

The Tribunal may on the application of any party or on its own initiative make a suppression order, having regard to the interests of the parties and to the public interest. Section 95A (4) Residential Tenancies Act 1986. Having considered the factors in this case including the agreements reached between the parties the Tribunal grants suppression of the identifying details.
