New Zealand Tenancy Tribunal Case 4689182 — Tenancy dispute

Tenantcheck Insights

Reasons

Both parties attended the hearing.

The tenant has applied for compensation for his inconvenience and stress while repairs were completed at the premises. He also refers to the landlord not providing him with a copy of the insurance policy for the premises, part of a Unit Titles development.

The repairs were required due to significant damage caused by a person the tenant invited to stay at the premises.

There was police involvement because of the damage caused.

The tenant is liable for the actions of persons at the premises with his consent.

The damage caused was at least careless damage and probably intentional damage.

The tenant has no claim against the landlord for the inconvenience and/or stress he suffered because of the damage caused by the person at the premises with his consent. There has been no breach by the landlord of her statutory responsibilities under the Residential Tenancies Act 1986 (RTA).

That the landlord did not provide a copy of the insurance policy for the premises makes no material difference. The tenancy agreement disclosed that the premises were insured. The tenant did not request a copy of the policy.

The landlord is yet to make a cross application for compensation and the cost of repairs. She said today she would make that application promptly.

The bond will remain at the Bond Centre until the landlord’s application is heard by the Tribunal.

Both parties sought name suppressions orders. The landlord is entitled to name suppression as her defence to the tenant’s application is successful. The tenant is not entitled to a name suppression order because his application is unsuccessful – see section 95A RTA.

The tenant is aware that he can pursue a claim for any costs awarded to the landlord from the person or persons who caused the damage, but he will need to wait until the Tribunal hears and determines the landlord’s application. His claim against those third parties would likely proceed in the Disputes Tribunal. The Tenancy Tribunal only hears claims between landlords and tenants.

For these reasons, the application is dismissed.
