By consent, the landlord must carry out the following work to the premises, which must be completed by Friday 28 November 2025. a. Inspect lounge and kitchen windows and joinery, and carry out all necessary repairs and/or maintenance. b. Inspect the driveway and carry out all necessary repairs and/or maintenance.

Kāinga Ora–Homes And Communities must pay $27.00 to [The tenant/s] tenant/s] for the filing fee for this application.

All other claims are dismissed.

Reasons

Both parties attended the hearing.

Ramihia is seeking work orders for new lounge and kitchen windows, a hole in the driveway, an extension of the driveway fence or more concrete on the driveway, and compensation of $500.00 for an alleged unsafe fire door.

Ramihia claims that the lounge and kitchen windows and joinery are defective, and there is a hole in the driveway and a possible leak. She says the boundary fence on the driveway needs to be extended on privacy and safety grounds, and/or more concrete is needed on the grass areas of the driveway.

Under section 45(1)(a) - (ca) Residential Tenancies Act 1986, the landlord has an obligation to provide and maintain certain standards and to comply with applicable requirements.

Where the Tribunal finds the landlord has failed to comply with any of these obligations, it may make an order for the landlord to carry out the work. See section 78(1)(e) Residential Tenancies Act 1986.

The landlord has agreed to inspect the windows and driveway and carry out all necessary repairs and maintenance.

I make an order accordingly.

I agree with the landlord that the boundary fence on the driveway is adequate. There is no obligation on the landlord to extend the fence, or to pour more concrete on the grass areas of the driveway, on privacy and/or safety grounds.

Has the landlord failed to comply with their obligations?

[The tenant/s] tenant/s] claims that the landlord has breached their obligations under section 45 of the Residential Tenancies Act 1986. Ramihia says that the fire door came off its hinges while the fire was lit and it is unsafe.

Under section 45, a landlord must provide and maintain the premises in a reasonable state of repair

I do not find any evidence that the fire is unsafe. To remove the door it can be lifted up and off the central hinge. The tenant has not provided any evidence to prove that the fire is defective or unsafe, so this part of her claim is dismissed. Filing fee

As Ramihia has been partly successful in her claims, the landlord must reimburse the filing fee.
