New Zealand Tenancy Tribunal Case 4792238 — Rent arrears

Tenantcheck Insights

Reasons

Both parties attended the hearing.
The landlord has applied for termination of the tenancy.

Should the tenancy be terminated?

The Tribunal shall terminate a tenancy where the Tribunal is satisfied that the tenant has assaulted, or has threatened to assault: a. any agent of the landlord; or b. any occupier of any building of which the premises constitute a part; or c. any neighbour of the premises or of any building of which the premises constitute a part . See section 55(1)(c) Residential Tenancies Act 1986
I am satisfied on the evidence presented that the tenant, on or about 25 January 2024, assaulted a neighbouring tenant (“the neighbour”) in a common area serving both these premises and the premises in which the neighbour resides. The landlord produced in evidence a statement from the neighbour describing the assault and a Police acknowledgement form of the neighbour’s report to Police concerning the assault. The tenant also accepted that the assault took place and says it was a mistake, although he says that he was at the time in an impaired state from being allegedly assaulted himself.
Furthermore, the landlord presented emails written by the tenant to employees/agents of the landlord in which I find he made comments that must be read as threats of assault on the landlord’s employees/agents. Mr Young confirmed that he wrote the emails. Mr Young explained that he was upset with the landlord about service of a 14-day notice regarding rent arrears which he believes are not owed, and the landlord’s alleged failure to respond to issues he has raised. Even if Mr Young is correct, that does not excuse the use of threatening language.
The grounds have been established and the tenancy must be terminated.
The landlord has wholly succeeded with the application and is entitled to suppression of their name and identifying details.
