The requirement for service is dispensed with.

An application for suppression has been made in this case and the Tribunal orders suppression of the landlord’s name and identifying details.

Jacob Codyre must pay the landlord $2,433.00 immediately, being rent arrears to termination of $2,406.00 and reimbursement of the filing fee of $27.00.

Reasons

The landlord attended the hearing by telephone.

The tenant was telephoned three times but did not answer and so two telephone messages were left.

The landlord made application to the Tribunal on 25 September 2024 which was more than two months after the end of the tenancy. This means that the application and other documents required to be served on the tenant must be posted to an address that the tenant has given to the landlord in writing within the last two months, or served in person on the tenant, or delivered to the tenant's place of residence, or given to an authorised agent of the tenant. See section 91A(2) Residential Tenancies Act 1986 (“RTA”).

The landlord does not have a contact address for the tenant that has been given to them in writing within the last two months. The landlord has not been able to determine the tenant’s current address or whereabouts and has no knowledge of the tenant having an authorised agent or solicitor.

This application was emailed to the tenant at the same email address that was used throughout the tenancy. The landlord advised that none of the emails it has sent to the tenant have been returned. The email address therefore appears to be still current and active.

The landlord has advised the address of the tenant’s place of work and the landlord’s application and notice of hearing have been posted to that address, emailed to the tenant’s email address and texted to the tenant’s telephone.

I am satisfied that in these circumstances all reasonable efforts have been made to serve the application and corresponding documentation on the tenant. I am satisfied that emailing to a longstanding email address and texting to the tenant’s telephone is likely to have brought notice of the application to the tenant’s attention.

In accordance with section 91B(2) RTA, I direct that the requirement for service is dispensed with and that the landlord’s application is to proceed as if it had been served on the tenant.

The landlord has applied for rent arrears and has provided rent records which prove the amount owing.

The landlord’s application was also for compensation for cleaning and rubbish removal. The landlord withdrew these claims at the telephone hearing.

Because [The applicant/s] has substantially succeeded with the claim I have reimbursed the filing fee.
