Reasons

Only the landlord attended the hearing. Ms Baker appeared for the landlord. The tenant’s mother appeared and advised that her daughter was suffering from serious mental health issues. She said that she did not have authority to represent her daughter at the hearing today.

The landlord has filed two applications for termination of the tenancy as follows: a. 5190372 being an application for termination of the tenancy on the basis that the rent was at least 21 days in arrears on the date the application was filed (section 55(1)(a) Residential Tenancies Act 1986 (RTA)). b. 5190572 being an application for termination on the basis that there have been three instances of anti-social behaviour (yelling and screaming for long periods) in a 90 day period and the landlord has served the tenant with notices accordingly (section 55A RTA).

The landlord produced a rent summary proving that the rent was at least 21 days in arrears on the date the application was filed. It appears that the tenant has stopped the automatic payments that were coming from WINZ. No rent has been paid since the application was filed. The rent is now 75 days in arrears ($1,082.85).

The tenancy is terminated.

As the tenancy has been terminated there is no need for me to go on to consider whether there has been anti-social behaviour at the tenancy.

It appears that the issues that have occurred during this tenancy are due to serious mental health difficulties currently being experienced by the tenant. I was told that she has wrap around support and that more suitable accommodation is being arranged as a matter of urgency, likely in a residential facility. At the request of the landlord I have granted possession on 1 May 2025 to allow time for that alternative accommodation to be arranged.

In the circumstances I consider that it is appropriate for me to exercise my discretion to suppress publication of the tenant’s name and identifying details.

The landlord did not seek reimbursement of the filing fee but advised that they may file another claim for damage and additional rent arrears once the tenant has moved out.
