Order

An application for suppression has been made in this case, and the Tribunal orders suppression of the Landlord name and identifying details.
[The landlord/s] are granted possession of the premises at [Tenancy address suppressed] at 5pm Wednesday 12 March 2025.
The bus and two cars located at the property are to be removed no later than 5pm Wednesday 19 March 2025.

Reasons

The landlord attended the hearing, conducted via teleconference. Two calls to the tenant went unanswered and to voicemail. After the first call went to voicemail, a brief message was left introducing myself and explaining the purpose of the call. The message concluded with the advice I would try a second time after waiting some minutes. I was satisfied adequate service had completed and I continued with the hearing after the second call also went unanswered.
The landlord has applied for possession of the premises following the termination of the tenancy.
The tenancy ended on 7 March 2025 after a landlord notice to terminate was served. This is less than 90 days ago. The requirements of section 64(1) of the Residential Tenancies Act 1986 (“RTA”) are satisfied.
The background to the tenancy and this application is atypical. I have made the possession per s 64 RTA as sought. In the alternative, if the tenant had attended the hearing and challenged jurisdiction, I consider a possession order would still have been made, albeit per s 65 RTA. The owner clearly has revoked any right of occupation.
It appears the tenant is already in the process of moving out. The dates set in this order reflect that.
