[Unit number suppressed] Tenancy Tribunal Case 5198952 — Rent arrears

Tenantcheck Insights

Reasons

The hearing was conducted on Microsoft Teams by telephone.

Nick Jiang attended for the landlord.

Ms [tenant’s surname] attended for the tenants.

The landlord has applied for termination of the tenancy for breach of the tenant’s obligations.

Should the tenancy be terminated?

The Tribunal may terminate a tenancy for breach where, due to the nature or extent of the breach, it would be inequitable to refuse to terminate. 1 1 See section 56(1) of the Residential Tenancies Act 1986.

Where the breach is capable of remedy the landlord must first serve a notice on the tenant requiring them to remedy the breach within at least 14 days and establish that the tenant has failed to do so.

The tenants breached their obligations by failing to pay rent,.

The landlord served a 14-day notice on the tenants on 5 March 2025 for non-payment of rent and the tenants did not remedy the breach within the required period.

The tenants have been in rent arrears from 19 January 2025 until yesterday. The arears have been as high as $1,857.00. It was only the day before the hearing that the tenants paid the arrears off.

The tenant before me says the tenants will now pay the rent on time in future.

By a fine margin, I have decided it would not be inequitable to refuse to terminate the tenancy because the arrears have been paid and the tenant assures me that the tenants will not go into arrears again.

I note that if the landlord has to bring another claim for rent arrears to the Tribunal, this decision may be referred to the next adjudicator and termination of the tenancy may be a likely outcome. Non-publication

The tenants seek non-publication of their names and identifying details.

The Tribunal must, on the application of a party that has wholly or substantially succeeded in proceedings, order that the party’s name or identifying particulars not be published, unless the Tribunal considers that publication is in the public interest or is justified because of the party’s conduct or any other circumstances of the case.

The tenants have succeeded in the proceedings. I do not consider that publication is in the public interest or is justified due to the tenants’ conduct or any other circumstances of the case.

The Tribunal orders non-publication.
