Order

An application for suppression has been made in this case, and the Tribunal orders suppression of the Tenant name and identifying details.
[The landlord/s] may dispose of any goods left at the premises by Melanie Jane Lewis

Reasons

[The landlord/s] attended the hearing which was held by remote teleconference. Ms Lewis did not answer the calls made to her phone. As she has been served with the Notice of Hearing, the hearing continued in her absence.
[The landlord/s] was granted possession of the property by Tribunal Order dated 12 July 2023 (TT4608751). He has provided photos of the state of the property when it was returned to him. There is a considerable amount of rubbish left and substantial damage made to the premise.
[The landlord/s] has satisfied me that no items of value were left at the property and Ms Lewis did have opportunity to retrieve them, which she did not take up on.
Accordingly, I find that he is entitled to dispose of any of her remaining items as they have no value, and it is no longer practicable for him to the return the goods to her. See sections 62(3)(b), 62B(2) and (3) Residential Tenancies Act 1986.
As [The landlord/s] was successful in his claim, his application for suppression is approved.
