Order

An application for suppression has been made in this case, and the Tribunal orders suppression of both parties names and identifying details.

The term of the fixed-term tenancy of [The tenant/s] at 4 Edgerton Road, Te Atatu Peninsula, Auckland 0610 is reduced and now ends at 6pm on Tuesday 5 August 2025.

Reasons

Both parties attended the hearing.

On of the joint tenants has applied for reduction of the fixed-term tenancy due to end on 9 November 2025.

The Tribunal may reduce a fixed term tenancy where: a. there has been an unforeseen change in the applicant’s circumstances; and b. there would be severe hardship to the applicant if the term is not reduced; and c. the applicant’s hardship would be greater than the hardship to the other party if the term is reduced. See section 66(1) Residential Tenancies Act 1986.

There has been an unforeseen change in one of the tenant's circumstances. One of the joint tenants has suffered a significant deterioration in a health condition meaning she is now unable to mobilise without a walking frame and cannot therefore use her bedroom and bathroom which are on the second storey of the home. Medical evidence supports this conclusion.

The other joint tenant does not wish to leave the tenancy early, but joint liability principles apply. From 6 August she is able to enter a new tenancy (either on her own as sole tenant or with another joint tenant if the landlord approves this).

The tenants would suffer severe hardship if the term of the tenancy were not reduced.

The landlord agrees with the request for the early end to the tenancy.

Where the Tribunal reduces a fixed-term tenancy, it may order the tenants to pay the landlord reasonable compensation for any resulting loss. See section 66(2) Residential Tenancies Act 1986.

The landlord did not request compensation for break lease fees but requested reasonable access to the property to take photographs to advertise it and then for viewings over the next three weeks to assist with mitigating the landlord’s loss. The tenants will facilitate this request to the extent they reasonably can.

The 21-day notice period that would apply if this were a joint periodic tenancy is considered fair in the circumstances.
