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

[The tenant/s] must pay [The landlord/s] $47.00 immediately, calculated as shown in the table below.

The Bond Centre is to pay the bond of $1,480.00 ([Bond number suppressed]) to [The landlord/s] immediately.

Reasons

Both parties attended the hearing which was held by teleconference on 13 March 2025.

The landlord has applied for rent arrears, refund of the bond, and reimbursement of the filing fee following the end of the tenancy.

How much is owed for rent?

The tenancy ended on 23 June 2024. The landlord provided rent records which prove the amount owing at the end of the tenancy.

The tenant disputes the claim, stating that the property was unliveable due to multiple issues. However, the tenant has not filed a cross-application to formally raise this issue as a counterclaim.

While the tenant asserts that the property was unliveable, they have not provided evidence to substantiate this claim within the scope of the present application. The Tribunal cannot consider unsubstantiated allegations in the absence of a cross-application and supporting evidence.

The correct course of action for the tenant, if they wish to pursue compensation for an alleged breach of the landlord’s obligations, is to file their own application. The tenant remains entitled to pursue this separately, and their claim will be assessed on its own merits should an application be filed. Filing fee and suppression order

As the landlord has wholly succeeded with the claim, I must order the tenant to reimburse the filing fee and grant suppression of the landlord’s name and identifying details.

The issue arises as to whether the tenant should also be granted suppression despite not being successful in this proceeding.

Section 95(2) Residential Tenancies act 1986 allows the Tribunal to grant suppression if it is in the interests of justice. The tenant has indicated that they intend to file their own application, which, if successful, may change the overall assessment of their rights and obligations under the tenancy. Publishing their name in connection with this matter before their claims are adjudicated may create an unfair prejudice against them, particularly if they later succeed in proving their case.

Moreover, the principle of fairness supports granting suppression to both parties where proceedings are ongoing in a related matter. The Tribunal has the discretion to ensure that tenants are not unduly disadvantaged by procedural timing, particularly when they have a legitimate legal avenue yet to be pursued. Granting suppression to both parties ensures procedural neutrality and avoids any premature reputational harm to the tenant before their claim is heard.
