Order

The Tribunal orders suppression of the applicant and respondent’s name and identifying details.
The application is dismissed for lack of jurisdiction.

Reasons

Both parties attended the hearing.
The applicant has applied to the Tribunal in respect of the neighbouring property of which the respondents named are both the tenant and the landlord.
The claims relate to alleged breaches of quiet enjoyment and unlawful use by the tenant. The applicant neighbour ultimately seeks for the tenancy to be terminated. Jurisdiction
The Tribunal’s jurisdiction is governed by the Residential Tenancies Act 1986 (RTA).
Section 77 of the RTA provides that the Tribunal has jurisdiction to determine in accordance with the RTA any dispute that: a. Exists between a landlord and a tenant or between a landlord and the guarantor of a tenant; and b. Relates to any tenancy to which the RTA applies.
Here the dispute has been filed by the neighbour who is not the landlord or tenant. Therefore, the dispute is not between the landlord and the tenant, and the Tribunal has no jurisdiction to determine the matter.
Any such claims would need to be filed by the landlord against the tenant, of which the neighbour could provide supporting evidence to the landlord in support of those claims.
As discussed at the hearing, alternatively there may be other forums where neighbour disputes can be resolved.
The claim is dismissed for lack of jurisdiction.
I have on my own accord granted name suppression to both parties as I do not consider there is a public interest here in publication. See section 95A of the RTA. R Harvey-Lane 14 November 2025
