The name and identifying details of the tenant are to be suppressed from the published order.

[The tenant/s] must carry out the following work to the premises, which must be completed by 14 September 2025: a. Remove all rubbish from the garden of the premise. b. . Mow the lawns.

If [the tenant/s] fails to comply with Order 2 above, then Kāinga Ora may undertake the work and charge [the tenant/s] the costs of this work up to $1,552. These costs may be treated as rent in arrears and enforced accordingly.

Reasons

The landlord, Kāinga Ora attended the hearing represented by Ms Smith. [The tenant/s] also attended.

Kāinga Ora seeks an order directing that [the tenant/s] remove all the rubbish and unused belongings that have been accumulating in the front garden for some time, and tidy up the lawns.

Their evidence is that [the tenant/s] has resided at the property since 2023 with his son of whom he has sole care. He has been issued with several 14-day breach notices to rectify the issue but has not been able to.

Kāinga Ora have provided photos to show that as of 6 August [the tenant/s] has not rectified the breach or complied with his obligations pursuant to section 40(1)(c) of the Residential Tenancies Act 1986 (RTA).

[The tenant/s]’s evidence is that it has been difficult to undertake the work. He needs assistance as he does not have a lawnmower or money to pay for a skip bin. He has the sole care of his son and a very limited income. He is willing to do the work, he just needs assistance. He has tried support agencies, Work and Income and his tenancy manager but has not had any help. The law

Where the Tribunal is satisfied, as I am here, that a tenant has failed to comply with their obligations set out in section 40(1)(c) RTA, where appropriate it may make an order for the landlord to carry out the work. See section 78(1)(e) RTA.

A work order may also authorise the landlord to undertake the work and charge the tenant the costs of doing the work, if the tenant should fail to comply with the work order and alternative monetary order. A monetary limit must be imposed by the Tribunal on the amount of costs that can be charged. These costs can be treated as rent in arrears and enforced accordingly. See sections 78(2AAB) and 78(2AAC)(a) RTA. Discussion

Accordingly, I make a work order for [the tenant/s] to remove the rubbish from the garden and mow the lawns. If he is not able to do this within the time allocated, his landlord may do so, but he will be liable for their cost.

Because [the tenant/s] has engaged with the hearing and consented to the order, it is appropriate pursuant to s95A of the Act that his name and identifying details are suppressed. It is not a breach of suppression orders for [the tenant/s] to provide a copy of this order to the Ministry of Social Development or any of his support agencies.

As Kāinga Ora administers public monies their details should be published.
