New Zealand Tenancy Tribunal Case 5336821 — Tenancy dispute

Q: What was Tenancy Tribunal case 5336821 about?

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

Order

An application for suppression has been made in this case, and the Tribunal orders suppression of the Landlord name and identifying details.
By way of Tribunal declaration, the tenant must return and occupy the premises no later than Friday 10 October 2025.
By way of Tribunal declaration, until the tenant returns, any other person in possession of the premises does not have a current right of occupation granted by the tenant. Any previous right granted has been revoked by the tenant.

Reasons

Both parties attended the hearing, conducted via teleconference.
The landlord has applied for an order for the tenant to return to the premises. The order narrative records a request for termination for s 56 failures 1 but that did not form part of the application and the notice of hearing did not include termination as a claim.
A series of notices requiring the tenant to return to the premises have been served.
The landlord also raised issues concerning the behaviours of other occupants at the premises.
At the hearing the landlord confirmed it was not seeking termination at this time. Its preference was for the tenant to return. If a return does not happen in the time frame stipulated it intends making a further application seeking termination.
The tenant provided an update on his movements and confirmed his desire to return. He expects to be back living at the premises within two weeks.
Regarding the occupants at the premises causing problems, he stated he has told them to leave – which he thinks they have done. It is his belief and expectation that the premises should now be unoccupied until his return.
Given the respective submissions, I make declarations recording both the latest return date for the tenant as well as providing clarity that if anyone is occupying the premises they are doing so without his permission. If any permission was previously granted, it has now been revoked. This declaration is made to assist the landlord manage the situation if occupants remain before the tenant returns. Suppression
Section 95A RTA states regarding suppression orders that the Tribunal must, on the application of a party that has wholly or substantially succeeded in proceedings, order that the party’s name or identifying particulars not be published, unless the Tribunal considers that publication is in the public interest or is justified because of the party’s conduct or any other circumstances of the case.
Further, the Tribunal may, on the application of any party to proceedings or on its own initiative, having regard to the interests of the parties and to the public interest, order that all or part of the evidence given or the name or any identifying particulars of any witness or party not be published.
The Tribunal may terminate a tenancy for breach where, due to the nature or extent of the breach, it would be inequitable to refuse to terminate. See section 56(1) Residential Tenancies Act 1986.
The landlord requested suppression in its application. The tenant requested suppression at the hearing. As the landlord has been wholly successful, its suppression is ordered. I have also considered the tenant’s request, weighing his submissions and interests versus any public interest. I have decided to exercise my initiative and also suppress his details. This gives him the benefit of the doubt regarding the lack of communication leading to this hearing.
If this tenancy comes back before the Tribunal, no future orders will be bound by the suppression orders made here.
