New Zealand Tenancy Tribunal Case 4849323 — Tenancy dispute

Tenantcheck Insights

Reasons

The landlord attended the hearing today. There was no appearance from the tenant.

The landlord has applied to the Tribunal for an order terminating the periodic tenancy for anti-social/criminal behaviour by the tenant or someone on the premises with the tenant’s permission.

The process under section 55A of the Residential Tenancies Act 1986 (the Act) has not been used, but for the reasons given below, I consider the tenant is in breach of section 40(2)(c) of the Act.

The landlord served the following notices to remedy: • A notice dated 2 April 2024 stated that the tenant had admitted to breaking into an adjoining empty unit. • A notice dated 2 April 2024 stated that the tenant’s visitors had damaged another tenant’s vehicle. • A notice dated 29 April 2024 stated that the tenant had climbed on the guttering and damaged a security camera.

There is a security video of the incident involving a parked vehicle outside the 8- unit complex where the tenant lives. The video is timed at 2.30am on 28 March 2024. The tenant and someone else can be seen riding a scooter together and appear to try to break into the vehicle.

There is a security video showing the tenant tampering with the security camera. He tries to kick it and then grabs and turns the camera. The video is timed at 2.19am on 25 April 2024.

Section 40(2)(c) of the Act provides that the tenant must not cause or permit the interference with the reasonable peace, comfort, or privacy of any of the landlord’s other tenants in the use of the premises occupied by those other tenants, or with the reasonable peace, comfort, or privacy of any other person residing in the neighbourhood. The landlord rents out the other units in the complex.

Breaking into a nearby unit in the same complex, damaging a security camera, and attempting to steal from a parked car are all serious breaches of this provision and are not capable of remedy.

On the evidence presented, I find that it would be inequitable to refuse to terminate the tenancy for breach of section 40 of the Act. The tenancy is terminated pursuant to section 56. Filing fee and suppression

The application has been successful. I award the filing fee and grant suppression as requested.
