Order

The tenancy of [The tenant/s] at [Tenancy address suppressed] is surrendered by her effective 5pm Friday February 2024, and possession is granted to W Thompson And Company Limited As Agent For Darren Devey, (section 50(1)(d) Residential Tenancies Act 1986) at that time.

Reasons

Both parties attended the hearing, conducted via teleconference.
The landlord had applied for termination but by the date of the hearing the tenant was in the final stages of moving and the parties mutually agreed the tenancy would end this Friday.
The circumstances behind the landlord application were actions of other people at the address. The landlord was supportive of tenant name suppression.
Section 95A RTA states regarding suppression orders that the Tribunal must, on the application of a party that has wholly or substantially succeeded in proceedings, order that the party’s name or identifying particulars not be published, unless the Tribunal considers that publication is in the public interest or is justified because of the party’s conduct or any other circumstances of the case.
Further, the Tribunal may, on the application of any party to proceedings or on its own initiative, having regard to the interests of the parties and to the public interest, order that all or part of the evidence given or the name or any identifying particulars of any witness or party not be published.
I find it appropriate here to grant tenant name suppression as any association of the tenant with the acts behind the application would be disproportionately harsh. The suppression applies to this order only.
The two parties intend to engage to facilitate the exit and resolve any outstanding matters but recourse to the Tribunal remains available if required.
