15A Dalton Crescent, Dinsdale, Hamilton 3204 Tenancy Tribunal Case 5241216 — Tenancy dispute

Tenantcheck Insights

Reasons

Both parties attended the hearing via remote teleconference. This matter was scheduled for a brief 30-minute telephone hearing.

The applicant is required to establish the claim to the civil law standard of proof, on the balance of probabilities.

The tenancy began on or about 31 March 2012.

The tenant claims that the landlord has served him with a 90 day notice to terminate. The notice was issued pursuant to the recent amendments to the Residential Tenancies Act.

The tenant claims that the notice to terminate is grossly unfair and is punishing him as a loyal tenant. He further argued that it will be extremely difficult to find a new place to rent, especially with his large aviary and five beehives. The tenant also raised a number of other issues concerning the current law of which I have no control of.

The landlord provided the Tribunal with a copy of the 90-day notice during the hearing. The notice provides no reasons for the termination as allowed by the recent Residential Tenancies Amendment Act 2024. The notice was issued under section 51(1) RTA.

Residential Tenancies Amendment Act 2024, section 26, allows as follows: s26: Section 51 amended (Termination by notice) (1) Replace section 51(1) to (2A) with: (1) A landlord may terminate a periodic tenancy in any case by giving at least 90 days’ notice.

The tenant asks the Tribunal to set the notice aside or extend the possession date.

The notice as served on the applicant dated 21 February 2025 is a valid notice under the Act. I see no grounds to set the notice aside. I also do not have jurisdiction to order further time before possession is returned to the landlord.

The application must therefore be dismissed.

Because the tenant has been unsuccessful in his application I do not reimburse the filing fee.

During the hearing the landlord offered the tenant further time to vacate the premises. The new possession date is now Monday 30 June 2025. The landlord has emailed the tenant an amended notice reflecting this new possession date.

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party that has wholly or substantially succeeded in proceedings, order that the party’s name or identifying particulars not be published, unless the Tribunal considers that publication is in the public interest or is justified because of the party’s conduct or any other circumstances of the case – section 95A Residential Tenancies Act.

The tenant applied for non-publication of his name and identifying details. Although he has not succeeded in these proceedings I do not consider that publication is in the public interest or is justified.

Accordingly, I order suppression of the tenant’s name.
