Order

An application for suppression has been made in this case, and the Tribunal orders suppression of the tenant and landlord names and identifying details.

BY CONSENT: In full and final settlement of all claims arising between the parties from this tenancy [the landlord] must pay [the tenant] $3,480.00 by 5pm on Tuesday 9 December 2025.

The tenant’s claims are dismissed.

Reasons

Both parties attended the hearing. The landlord was represented by his previous property manager but also attended himself.

The purpose of this hearing was a case management hearing. The tenant, who has made an application, listed her claims in readiness for a substantive hearing.

The tenancy has ended. Since making the application the tenant has had her bond returned to her. The claims

The tenant set out her claims which are for compensation ($6,800) and exemplary damages for: a. Breach of Healthy Homes Standards for insulation (underfloor, walls and ceiling) b. Breach of Healthy Homes Standards for draught stopping (floors, doors, windows) c. Failure to provide Healthy Homes information when requested d. Failure to maintain: i. The roof – it leaked and the tenant suffered smoke inhalation ii. The ceiling in the kitchen, 2 bedrooms and lounge iii. The dishwasher iv. The light in the hall v. The floor in the laundry area vi. The guttering vii. A step into the third bedroom viii. The deck ix. Aluminium door and window in the 3 rd bedroom

The tenant also claims exemplary damages for breach of quiet enjoyment relating to a footpath used by the landlord, contractors, the neighbour and the landlord’s friends. Contractors turning up to turn off water and who blocked her in. Builders blocking the drive and stopping rubbish collection and the property manager showing people through the home without consent on a Sunday morning. Settlement

After detailing the claims the parties agreed to settle matters between them.

It was agreed that in full and final settlement of all claims arising between the parties from this tenancy [The landlord/s] must pay [The tenant/s] $3,480.00 by 5pm on Tuesday 9 December 2025.

As the matter is settled there is no claim to determine and therefore [The tenant/s] application is dismissed.

The Tribunal commends the parties for the resolution they were able to reach. Suppression

Both parties seek suppression of their identifying details (see section 95A Residential Tenancies Act 1986).

I award this to both parties. The parties were able to reach an agreement today which could have been achieved at mediation. However, it was expedient to resolve the matter at the hearing today. It is in the public interest that parties can resolve their disputes.
