New Zealand Tenancy Tribunal Case 5271080 — Tenancy dispute

Tenantcheck Insights

Reasons

Both parties attended the hearing.

[The applicant/s] has applied for termination of the tenancy on the grounds that the premises are unsafe due to Methamphetamine contamination. The tested levels in the tenancy exceed 15 micrograms per square meter which has been deemed to be unsafe for a tenant to occupy. This level was set in the report prepared by Sir peter Gluckman, who was the Prime Minister’s science adviser at the time 1 . [The applicant/s] argue that the flat is uninhabitable for safety reasons and therefore, s59(1)(b) applies and the tenancy was terminated by notice given on 7 April 2025.

[The tenant/s] has brought a counter claim seeking the cost of carrying out his own testing, however this was completed before today’s hearing and the results were largely in agreement with [The applicant/s]’s testing. Therefore, the counter claim has been resolved and is moot. 1 See Eren Limited v Martin and Kukuruzsnayak [2021] NZDC 15210

I am satisfied that the testing carried out by both parties shows that the flat is contaminated to a level where it will affect the health of anyone living in it. Therefore I order that the tenancy is terminated.

[The tenant/s] agrees with the need to move out but has concerns about the re- housing process and the location suggested for the discussions about rehousing to occur. During the hearing he expressed his concerns and frustrations about a number of issues which had arisen during his tenancy at the flat. [The applicant/s]’s representative has undertaken to advise the senior staff who will conduct the rehousing discussions of Mr [The tenant/s]’s concerns.

[The applicant/s] had sought termination is 7 days, I consider that 9 days will bring the termination date to a Friday and will give more room for the discussions about rehousing to occur. I encourage the parties to continue the discussions begun during the hearing.
