New Zealand Tenancy Tribunal Case 4988928 — Tenancy dispute

Tenantcheck Insights

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 application is dismissed.

Reasons

Both parties attended this video hearing.
The landlord claims that the tenant has not kept the premises reasonably clean and tidy.
I had received photos of the exterior to the premises, taken by the landlord in November 2024. The photos show substantial building materials, whiteware and other items. It would be fair to say at that point that the premises were not reasonably clean and tidy.
The landlord provided further photos taken today which show that the tenant has made substantial progress in tidying the premises. The tenant is to be congratulated on his efforts.
The landlord said that but for one area, the premises were now reasonably tidy.
The one area is the carport of the tenant’s neighbour. The landlord said that they had received complaints from other neighbours.
The Landlord was unable to say whether the neighbour had consented to the tenant storing items in the neighbouring garage. One can only assume that consent has been given by the neighbour.
The tenant is required to keep their premises reasonably clean and tidy. The neighbour’s premises do not form part of the tenant’s premises and accordingly, there can be no obligation on the tenant to keep his neighbour’s premises reasonably tidy.
The burden of proving the claim is on the landlord. I do not consider that the landlord has proven the claim to the required standard and the application is dismissed. It was made clear to the tenant that he needed to keep his premises reasonably tidy in the future and that a failure to do so would simply result in a further application being made by the landlord.
The tenant applied for name suppression. The tenant has been wholly successful in this matter and suppression of the tenant name and details is ordered.
