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

The tenancy of Arthur Jeffries and Anthony Jeffries at [Tenancy address suppressed] is terminated, and possession is granted to [The landlord/s], at 11:59pm on 22 November 2024.

Arthur Jeffries and Anthony Jeffries must pay [The landlord/s] $2,427.00 immediately, as calculated in the table below:

This order replaces and incorporates the mediator’s money order for rent arrears sealed on 23 September 2024.

Reasons

The landlord attended the hearing. The tenant did not attend the hearing and did not answer despite being telephoned on the number ending in 508 multiple times during the hearing.

The landlord has applied for termination of the tenancy and rent arrears.

On 13 September 2024 the parties attended a Tribunal mediation in respect of rent arrears and tenant breaches of local council bylaws. A mediated order records that the tenant was to pay outstanding rent arrears of $2,400.00 by 30 September 2024 and that if payment was not made, the amount was enforceable by the Collections Unit.

The mediated order also records that the tenant was to remove all cars from the roadside outside the property immediately.

The landlord advises that these orders have not been complied with by the tenant, and that he has not commenced enforcement of the mediator’s order.

On 10 October 2024, the landlord issued a 14-day notice for failing to comply with the mediator’s order. The notice required that the tenant remedy the breach by 30 October 2024.

The local council authority has advised the landlord that the cars are still on the road and has provided photographs as evidence of this. The landlord has been working with the local council authority, who continue to chase the landlord for rectification.

The landlord has also advised that the rental arrears of $2,400.00 included in the mediator’s order remain outstanding.

Should the tenancy be terminated?

Rent was at least 21 days in arrears on the date the application was filed. The tenancy is terminated. See section 55(1)(a) Residential Tenancies Act 1986.

The landlord provided rent records which prove the amount owing of $2,400.00 through to 14 November 2024.

Although the landlord could seek possession immediately, a possession date has been fixed to allow the tenants some time to vacate the property.

The landlord has also applied for termination of the tenancy for breach of the tenant’s obligations, with respect to the failure to remove the cars from the roadside immediately in accordance with the mediator’s order and the subsequent 14-day notice. However, as the tenancy is already terminated due to rental arrears, I have not considered this further.

Because [The applicant/s] has wholly succeeded with the claim I must reimburse the filing fee. R Harvey-Lane 18 November 2024
