Order

[The tenant/s] must pay Otautahi Community Housing Trust $1,064.00 from the Bond being rent in lieu of notice.
The Bond Centre is to pay the bond of $1,064.00 ([Bond number suppressed]) to Otautahi Community Housing Trust immediately.

Reasons

Both parties attended the hearing.
The tenant was represented by a support worker from a social agency.
This tenancy ended in June 2023. The landlord says that the tenant did not provide the proper notice and has claimed rent for a period of 7 weeks; being 4 weeks after it says it was notified of the tenant’s wish to terminate the tenancy.
The tenant has some difficulty integrating into society and requires ongoing support from social agencies. He did not understand the need to provide notice at the end of his tenancy.
At the hearing the landlord said it would accept payment of bond; approximately 4 weeks rent in lieu of notice. In my view that is a reasonable outcome. See s85 Residential Tenancies Act 1986. I have made an order accordingly.
Having regard to the tenant’s circumstances, as outlined by his support worker, I have also suppressed his details.
