Unit/Flat 2, 121 Muller Road, Blenheim 7201 Tenancy Tribunal Case 5011168 — Tenancy dispute

Tenantcheck Insights

Reasons

Both parties attended the hearing of the landlord’s application for access to be given for the purposes of conducting a property inspection.

The landlord claims that the tenant has refused to allow the landlord to inspect the premises. The landlord wants to inspect the premises to ascertain if there are any maintenance issues requiring attention and to view the state and condition of the premises.

The tenant raised his own issues with the landlord’s breaches of their code of conduct as a social housing provider but ultimately agreed to allow access to the landlord.

Under section 48(2)(b) Residential Tenancies Act 1986 (‘RTA’), a landlord is entitled to enter the premises for the purpose of inspecting the premises, at any time between 8 o’clock in the morning and 7 o’clock in the evening on a day specified in a notice given to the tenant not less than 48 hours nor more than 14 days before the intended entry, and not more frequently than once in any period of 4 weeks.

Section 48(4)(b) RTA provides that failure by the tenant, without reasonable excuse, to allow the landlord to enter upon the premises in any circumstances in which the landlord is entitled to enter under subsection (2) is an unlawful act.

Notwithstanding the landlord’s previous notices of inspection being refused, the landlord is presently only seeking a Tribunal order for access to be granted.

Where the Tribunal finds the tenant has failed to comply with their obligations, including to allow the landlord access to the premises for the purposes of conducting property inspections, the Tribunal may order the tenant to do anything necessary to remedy the breach by that party of any express or implied provision of the tenancy agreement or any provision of the RTA, or to do anything that that party is required to do by any such provision. See section 77(2)(l) Residential Tenancies Act 1986.

I therefore order the tenant to comply with section 48(2)(b) RTA and direct the tenant to give access to the landlord accordingly.

The tenant agrees to the next inspection to take place between 10am and 11am on Friday 1 November 2024.

For the avoidance of doubt, this order constitutes the required notice by the landlord under section 48(2)(b) RTA for the inspection to take place at that date and time.
