New Zealand Tenancy Tribunal Case 4827937 — Tenancy dispute

Tenantcheck Insights

Reasons

Both parties attended the hearing. The landlord was represented by Mr Philips and Ms Tasi.

This hearing was heard at the same time as another matter, 4827880.

This matter concerns a long term tenancy that began on 22 September 2015. The tenancy is at a social housing complex for people aged over 65.

The landlord has applied for termination of the tenancy because of an incident that occurred on 29 February 2024.

The landlord explained that following a dispute about rubbish bins this tenant and a neighbouring tenant (who had moved to the complex in December 2023) were heard shouting and swearing at each other, and ended up punching and pushing each other and ended up on the ground fighting.

The landlord did not have any CCTV footage of the incident. There was a witness to the incident but the landlord was reluctant to get that person involved and they did not give evidence at the hearing today. I was told that a member of the landlord’s staff also witnessed bruising on this tenant following the incident.

At the hearing the tenant explained that the other tenant was the aggressor and that he was forced to defend himself.

At the hearing of this matter the other tenant accepted that he had been aggressive and he apologised to this tenant. Both tenants shook hands and said that they could be friends and wanted to live together peacefully.

Mr Philips explained that the landlord was happy for both tenancies to continue on this basis, but wanted to ensure that both tenants understand that fighting for any reason is unacceptable in their tenancies.

As the tenants used the hearing as an opportunity to resolve their differences and all parties agree that neither tenancy should be terminated, I do not see any reason in publishing the tenant’s name in this decision. I therefore exercise my discretion to supress the tenant’s name and identifying details (including the tenancy address).
