New Zealand Tenancy Tribunal Case 5360146 — Tenancy dispute

Tenantcheck Insights

Reasons

The landlord attended the video hearing.

The tenant did not attend the hearing by Teams video link. A telephone call made to the tenant on the number provided at the allocated hearing time. There was no response to the call. The telephone number was confirmed as being correct by the landlord. The landlord said that she had spoken to the tenant on Monday 20 October 2025. The tenant had said that she was aware of the hearing date. The Tribunal may hear matters in the absence of a party where satisfied that notice of the hearing has been given. I am satisfied that notice of the hearing has been given to the tenant.

The landlord has applied for possession of the premises following the termination of the tenancy.

This was a fixed term tenancy through until 5 October 2025. By notice dated 7 July 2025, the landlord gave the tenant notice that the fixed term would not be extended and that the tenancy would end on 5 October 2025.

Despite having received the notice to terminate the tenancy, the landlord gave evidence that the tenant remained at the premises.

Section 65 (1) Residential Tenancies Act 1986 provides that ; “Where, on the application of any person entitled to possession of any residential premises, the Tribunal is satisfied that any other person is in possession of the premises as a squatter or trespasser, or otherwise than pursuant to any right of occupation granted to that person by any person having lawful authority to grant that right to that person, the Tribunal shall make a possession order granting possession of the premises to the applicant.”

The landlord is entitled to possession of these premises as a result of having served a notice to terminate the tenancy on the tenant. I am satisfied on the evidence provided by the landlord that the tenant is currently in possession of the premises, otherwise then pursuant to any right of occupation.

The tenancy ended on 5 October 2025, which is less than 90 days ago. The requirements of section 64(1) of the Residential Tenancies Act 1986 are satisfied.

A possession order is made granting possession of the premises to the landlord immediately.
