Order

An application for suppression has been made in this case, and the Tribunal orders suppression of the Landlord’s name and identifying details.
The tenancy of Raewyn Maaka at [Tenancy address suppressed] is terminated, and possession is granted to [The landlord/s], immediately.

Reasons

The Landlord attended the hearing by telephone. The Tenant did not answer the two telephone calls made to both the Tenants phone numbers. The Landlord submitted that the Tenant had attended their office earlier in the day. The Tenant had issues with their telephone so the Tenant agreed for the support worker to attend the property at 2pm so the Tenant could attend the hearing using the support workers telephone. The Landlord instructed the Tenant was not present when the support worker attended the property at the time of the hearing.
The Landlord has sought termination based on section 51(1) of Residential Tenancies Act 1986. This states a Landlord may terminate a periodic tenancy in any case by giving at least 90 days notice.
The Landlord submitted they provided a 90 day notice to the Tenant via email and personally delivered this to the Tenant’s property on 11 March 2025.
The tenancy should have terminated on 11 June 2025 according to this notice.
The landlord submitted when the Tenant came into the office today, they confirmed they were still living at the property and signed a referral form to enable the Landlord to find a property for the Tenant to move into.
In considering the evidence, I find the Landlord has complied with section 51(1) and it would appear the Tenant has not vacated the premises. The tenancy is now terminated.
As the Landlord has been wholly successful with their claim, name suppression is granted to the Landlord.
