New Zealand Tenancy Tribunal Case 4803417 — Tenancy dispute

Q: What was Tenancy Tribunal case 4803417 about?

The tribunal order states: An application for suppression has been made in this case, and the Tribunal

Order

An application for suppression has been made in this case, and the Tribunal orders suppression of the tenant’s name and identifying details.
The tenant is to comply with section 40(1)(c) of the Residential Tenancies Act 1986 and clause 7.6 of the Tenancy Agreement by keeping the property reasonably clean and tidy as follows: a. Keeping the bathroom clean and ensuring that all surfaces are wiped down and that the floor are vacuumed; b. By 1pm on Friday 29 November 2024 the tenant’s excess possessions, if they have not been removed from the property, are stacked in a safe an orderly manner away from windows, doors and walls so that all walkways and windows are accessible for fire safety; and c. By 1pm on Friday 17 January 2025 the tenant’s excess possession are to be removed from the property.
The landlord is granted a period until 24 January 2025 within which, if the tenant has not complied with the orders above, to request that the application be brought back before the Tribunal with new evidence in respect of compliance (or lack of compliance) and the matter will be reopened.

Reasons

Both parties attended the hearing. The landlord was represented by Mr Bagga and Ms Brown.
This matter came before the Tribunal on 29 May 2024. On that date the Tribunal made the following orders:
On 30 July 2024 the landlord requested that this matter be re-opened which has led to the hearing today.
At the hearing today [the tenant] explained that he had been making progress towards compliance with the orders. He has hired a storage unit and provided an invoice confirming the position but said that he has not made been able to make much progress because he has suffered an injury to his arm which means that he cannot lift anything. He provided photographs of the injury, a letter from his GP and a referral to an Orthopaedic Surgeon who he has an appointment to see in January 2025.
[the tenant] said that he is going to have to enlist the help of friends and family to help move his things and that realistically that is likely to take place over the Christmas break.
The landlord is sympathetic to [the tenant]’s situation but said that the situation presents a safety hazard not only for [the tenant] but for neighbouring tenancies as the walls of his tenancy adjoin other units. It appears that [the tenant] has far too many possessions for the size of the unit as he previously lived in a much larger property.
After some discussion it was agreed that: a. safety was a first priority and that [the tenant] would ensure that by Friday 29 November 2024 all items all excess possessions, if they have not been removed from the property, are stacked in a safe an orderly manner away from windows, doors and walls. b. [the tenant] would ensure that any remaining excess possessions are removed from the property by Friday 17 January 2025 (to his storage unit or elsewhere) to ensure that the property can be kept reasonably clean and tidy.
I have made these orders by consent. The landlord explained at the hearing that they are able to put [the tenant] in touch with various support services that might be able to assist him. I encourage both parties to discuss further and ensure that [the tenant] receives all support available to him.
The landlord advised [the tenant] that they will inspect the property on (or close to) the above dates and will give him notice of the inspections in advance. I have therefore made the time for compliance at 1pm on each of the dates ordered so that the landlord can inspect the property after that time.
[the tenant] will also need to keep the property reasonably clean and tidy in the meantime and so I have made orders in this regard also.
The landlord also explained that if the tenant wishes to have the bollards outside the property removed at a specific time, so that he can drive to his unit for the purposes of loading/unloading, then he can contact them to arrange a suitable time for this to happen.
I strongly encourage the parties to keep in close contact to ensure that [the tenant] is on track and has all the support that he needs to continue with his tenancy.
I have ordered that this matter is closed, but the landlord has until 5pm on Friday, 24 January 2025, to request that the matter be re-opened if further orders are required. After that date the landlord will need to file a new application.
