Tenantcheck Insights

Order

The landlord is to provide the Tribunal with a current service address for the tenant.
The application is returned to Tenancy Services for further service.
If a service address for the tenant cannot be provided, the landlord may apply to the Tribunal for a direction that the application is to be served by some other means or that service be dispensed with.

Reasons

The application was filed more than two months after the end of the tenancy so the usual service rules no longer apply. The tenancy ended on 18 January 2024, photographs were taken on 19 January 2024 but the application was not filed until 23 March 2024.
I observe from file note, the property manager contacted the call centre to advise they didn’t know the address of the tenant and appeared unsure of the rules governing addresses for service. Section 91 Residential Tenancies Act clearly sets out the requirements for service when an application is filed more than 2 months after the end of the tenancy, and in s.91B the requirements if a landlord is applying for substituted service.
The application must be served either personally on the tenant, on someone over the age of 16 living at address where the tenant now lives, or by post to an address provided by the tenant within two months before the application was made. See section 91A(2) Residential Tenancies Act 1986.
The application has not been served in accordance with these requirements.
The hearing cannot proceed until effective service has taken place.
If the landlord cannot locate the tenant, despite making all reasonable efforts to do so, the landlord may apply to the Tribunal for a direction that the application is to be served by some other means likely to bring it to the tenant’s notice. Alternatively, the landlord may apply to the Tribunal for a direction that service be dispensed with. See section 91B Residential Tenancies Act 1986.
