Unit/Flat 13, 93 Grey Street, Hamilton East, Hamilton 3216 Tenancy Tribunal Case 5292931 — Rent arrears

Tenantcheck Insights

Reasons

On 28 August 2025 the Tribunal made an order for rent arrears and termination of the tenancy under section 55(1) Residential Tenancies Act 1986 (‘RTA’).

On 1 September 2025, the tenant applied for a rehearing on the grounds that she was at hospital at the initial hearing date. The tenant wishes to be heard on the application.

Section 105(1) Residential Tenancies Act 1986 provides that the Tribunal has the power to order a rehearing where “a substantial wrong or miscarriage of justice has or may have occurred or is likely to occur”.

Usually the party applying for the rehearing must show that something went wrong with the Tribunal’s procedure, for example, that they did not receive notice of the hearing or they were not able to properly present their case. A rehearing may also be granted where there is new evidence that was not reasonably available at the first hearing, if it could have affected the outcome.

The District Court has held that if the Tribunal was simply wrong in its findings of fact, or its application of the law, this is not sufficient to establish a miscarriage of justice: a rehearing is not an alternative to an appeal. Furthermore, a rehearing will not be granted just because a party is unhappy with the decision, or to give them a second opportunity to present their case.

Has a substantial wrong or miscarriage of justice occurred?

The tenant has failed to establish the grounds for a rehearing.

The tenant did not appear at today’s hearing to consider the rehearing application.

The rent remains in arrears and there is nothing before me to indicate that the grounds for termination of the tenancy on 28 August 2025 should not be relied upon.

The landlord advised that the tenant has since vacated the premises a week after 28 August owing a further week’s rent. The landlord indicates that they wish to claim compensation upon the tenant’s vacation from the premises.

The landlord may file vacated claims in due course.

I hereby dismiss the tenant’s rehearing application.

The order of 28 August 2025 remains in effect and may be enforceable accordingly.
