An application for suppression has been made in this case, and the Tribunal orders suppression of the Landlord and the Tenants’ names, the address of the tenancy and all identifying details.

The tenancy of [The tenant/s] at [Tenancy address suppressed] is terminated, and possession is granted to [The landlord/s], immediately.

The Bond Centre is to pay the bond of $294.00 ([Bond number suppressed]) to [The landlord/s] immediately.

[The tenant/s] must pay [The landlord/s] $2,200.04 immediately, calculated as shown in the table below:

Reasons

The landlord attended the hearing but the tenant did not attend.

The landlord has applied for termination of the tenancy, rent arrears and refund of the bond as the tenant was the sole tenant and is deceased.

The landlord was advised by the tenant’s sister on 8 July 2025 that the tenant had passed away on 6 July 2025.

The law relating to the death if a sole tenant is set out in section 50A Residential Tenancies Act 1986 (RTA) which states: (1) On the death of a sole tenant under a tenancy agreement (whether for a fixed-term tenancy or a periodic tenancy), the tenancy agreement terminates on the earliest of the following dates: (a) the date that is the 21st day after the date on which the personal representative of the tenant or a person who is the tenant’s next of kin gives the landlord written notice of the death of the tenant: (b) the date that is the 21st day after the landlord gives the personal representative of the tenant or a person who is the tenant’s next of kin written notice to vacate the premises that are the subject of the tenancy agreement: (c) the date that is agreed in writing by the landlord with the personal representative of the tenant or with a person who is the tenant’s next of kin: (d) the date determined as the termination date of the tenancy agreement by the Tribunal on the application of the landlord under subsection (2). (2) If a landlord is unable to give notice to vacate under subsection (1)(b), the landlord may apply, without notice, to the Tribunal for an order to terminate the tenancy.

A copy of the tenant’s death certificate was forwarded to the landlord by the tenant’s sister on 24 August 2025. The landlord understands that the tenant’s sister was unwell after advising that the tenant had passed away and sending through the death certificate.

Accordingly the landlord seeks 21 day’s rent from the date the tenant’s sister advised it of the tenant’s death. The landlord provided rent records which prove the amount owing at the end of the tenancy.

The tenancy is terminated immediately and possession of the premises immediately passes to the landlord.

As the landlord has wholly succeeded with its application I must reimburse the filing fee.

Neither party has applied for suppression of its name and identifying details of the tenancy. The Tribunal of its own volition suppresses the names of both parties, the tenancy address and any identifying details of the tenancy. In doing so, I have had regard to the interests of the parties and the public interest, and do not consider there is any public interest in publishing any of these details.
