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

Cherish Michaela Himone Dodd must pay [The landlord/s] $27.00 immediately, calculated as shown in the table below:

[The landlord/s] is granted possession of the premises at 12 Sea Dune Place, Ruakaka, Ruakaka 0116 immediately

All other claims are withdrawn.

Reasons

The landlord attended the hearing by telephone. The tenant was called on the phone number provided but did not answer. The call went direct to voice message service. The hearing continued in their absence.

The landlord has applied for possession of the premises following the termination of the tenancy.

The parties signed a fixed term tenancy agreement starting on 21 August 2024 and ending on 20 November 2024, with the additional clause that it was only to be extended by mutual agreement.

The landlord issued a 14 day notice on 26 October 2024 which also stated that the fixed term was not going to be extended.

The landlord also delivered a further letter to the tenant on 5 November 2024 stating that the tenancy was not going to be extended as she was going to put the premises on the market. The letter also raised concerns about the condition of the premises.

The landlord said that she has been unable to contact the tenant or reinspect the premises until the 14 day notice she issued expires.

The premises are brand new, being completed in June 2024.This is the first tenancy.

Photographs were provided of marks on the walls, rubbish bags in the garage and dogs, which were not permitted, at the premises.

A video was provided where the tenant said that there had been a leak at the premises since the start that she had not told the landlord about. The landlord has had this fixed but been unable to access to see if there are any resulting damages.

The landlord also provided photographs of windows and doors left open over a period of time and said she believes that the tenant is not living there all the time. The landlord has met and spoken to other people the premises but not the tenant, who has failed to reply to any of her communications.

The parties signed a fixed term tenancy to end on 20 November 2024.There was no evidence that this was extended or varied. The landlord also has grave concerns about the damages occurring at the premises.

I find that the tenancy ended 20 November 2024 which is less than 90 days ago. The requirements of section 64(1) of the Residential Tenancies Act 1986 are satisfied.

The landlord withdrew the other claims intending to refile once possession is obtained and the claims are finalised.

Because [The applicant/s] has wholly succeeded with the claim I must reimburse the filing fee and grant name suppression of the landlords’ details as requested.
