Tenancy Tribunal case 5243072 — Tenancy dispute at 14A Frances Street, Manurewa, Auckland 2102
Decided 27 May 2025 · Published 27 May 2025 · Application 5243072
- Rent arrears
Party names are redacted in the official published order.
Order
- An application for suppression has been made in this case, and the Tribunal orders suppression of the parties’ names and identifying details.
- [The tenant/s] must pay [The landlord/s] $867.00 immediately, being rent arrears to 18 May 2025 of $2,800.00 and reimbursement of the filing fee of $27.00 less the bond of $1,960.00.
- The Bond Centre is to pay the bond of $1,960.00 ([Bond number suppressed]) to [The landlord/s] immediately.
Reasons
- Both parties attended the hearing by telephone.
- The landlord has applied for rent arrears and the tenant accepted that the amount claimed is owing.
- The parties agreed on the terms of this order during the hearing. The parties could have been referred to mediation so that their agreement could be recorded in a mediated order. In that event, the order and the parties’ names would not have been published. Referral to mediation would have postponed the resolution of this dispute and would have involved both parties in the cost of further time spent at a mediation conference.
- As the parties reached agreement by consent at the hearing and there are no matters of public interest in this order, it is appropriate that the parties’ names be suppressed.
- Because [The applicant/s] has wholly succeeded with the claim I must reimburse the filing fee.
