Unit/Flat D, 309 Don Buck Road, Massey, Auckland 0614 Tenancy Tribunal Case 5318111 — Rent arrears

The tribunal order states: An application for suppression has been made in this case, and the Tribunal

Tenantcheck Insights

Order

An application for suppression has been made in this case, and the Tribunal orders suppression of the Tenant and Landlord name and identifying details.

The applications are amended to reflect the correct landlord and that is Rising- Links Property Management Limited (“RLPM”). They do not appear as an agent for Ee Kuoh Lau.

All applications/claims made by both parties are dismissed.

Reasons

Both parties attended the hearing.

This was scheduled for a claim and counter claim. Initially the landlord application was for termination for rent arrears. The tenant’s application was to oppose the termination and enforce their fixed term tenancy until May 2026.

The background to these applications is complex.

The tenants entered into a tenancy agreement with Golden Touch Investment and Trade Company Limited (“GTI”). The tenancy agreement is between the two tenants and GTI. Ee Kuoh Lau and Jian Tan were operating as landlords for GTI.

By order of the Auckland High Court RLPM is the lawful owner of this property and not GTI, Ee kuoh Lau nor Jian Tan.

Up until the hearing the tenants have been paying their rent to GTI. The actual owner, RLPM have not received the rent money owed to them.

Prior to the hearing the Tribunal received an update from the Landlord stating their application was initiated due to perceived rent arrears. The tenants had mistakenly continued paying their rent to the previous and unlawful landlord.

After constructive discussions and genuine goodwill on both parts, the tenants have confirmed to the landlord that they wish to remain at the property and will pay their rent to the correct owner.

The landlord and tenants intend to pursue the unlawful landlord for the rent paid by the tenants to them.

The parties have agreed to work together to recover the money. The tenants bond remains at the bond centre. The landlord and tenants are working through the process of preparing a new tenancy agreement.

Neither party wish to pursue their claims as they have effectively sorted out their claims between themselves.

The bond is to remain at the bond centre until the end of the tenancy.

I am granting suppression of both party’s names due to the circumstances of the claims.

All applications for both landlord and tenants are dismissed.
