Order

Order 2 of the Tribunal’s order dated 26 March 2024 is amended. Possession of the premises at [Tenancy address suppressed] is granted to the landlord immediately today.

Reasons

On 26 March 2024, the Tribunal made an order by consent terminating the tenancy and granting possession to the landlord on 9 April 2024.
Leave was reserved for the landlord to apply urgently for an earlier possession date were there another incident of a threat of assault by the tenant against other tenants at the premises.
The landlord requested an urgent recall following a further incident on 2 April 2024.
The landlord gave evidence that around 8.00pm on 2 April, the tenant aggressively threated the other tenants when they arrived home. He threatened to beat them up. He appeared carrying a mallet.
The other tenants called the Police who advised them not to remain at the premises that night. The Police recorded the incident.
The landlord produced in evidence a video taken by the other tenants of the threatening behaviour by [The tenant/s] that resulted in the Police being called.
I arranged for the matter to be recalled this morning. I conducted the hearing by phone. The registrar’s call to the tenant went to voice mail.
I am satisfied that the tenant’s behaviour on 2 April 2024 towards the other tenants constitutes a threat of assault that falls under section 55(1)(c)(iv) of the Residential Tenancies Act 1986.
I therefore amend order 2 of the Tribunal’s order dated 26 March 2024. I grant the landlord immediate possession of the premises today – see section 138(1)(b) of the District Courts Act 2016. This means the usual delay for enforcement does not apply.
