New Zealand Tenancy Tribunal Case 5010628 — Tenancy dispute

Tenantcheck Insights

Order

The Tribunal orders suppression of the Tenants’ names and identifying details.
The application is dismissed.

Reasons

A hearing was scheduled to proceed by teleconference today. The applicant, the landlord, did not attend the hearing at the scheduled time. Multiple attempts were made by the Tribunal to contact the landlord using the phone number provided in the application; however, each call was diverted to voicemail. The Tribunal registrar also sent an email to the landlord advising that contact could not be made, and invited the landlord to check their phone settings or provide an alternative contact number. No further response was received.
The tenants also failed to attend the hearing. No contact or explanation for their non-attendance was received from them.
Under section 92(1) of the Residential Tenancies Act 1986, the Tribunal may dismiss an application if the applicant fails to appear, unless there is sufficient excuse. In this case, the landlord has not appeared, has not communicated any reason for their absence, and has not indicated that the matter has been settled or requested an adjournment. Accordingly, the application is dismissed.
As the landlord bears the onus of proof, and has not appeared to prosecute or establish the claims made, the Tribunal is unable to make any findings against the tenants.
With respect to name suppression, section 95A(1) of the Residential Tenancies Act 1986 provides that a party who has substantially succeeded in the proceedings may apply for a suppression order. In this case, the landlord’s application has been dismissed and no orders have been made against the tenants. Although the tenants did not attend the hearing, the landlord failed to prove his case. On this basis, and in the interests of fairness, I consider it appropriate to suppress the names and identifying details of the tenants under section 95A(1) of the Act. No suppression is granted in favour of the landlord.
