New Zealand Tenancy Tribunal Case 5412069 — 14-day notice

Q: What was Tenancy Tribunal case 5412069 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.

Patrick Greene must pay [The landlord/s] $28.00 immediately, being the application filing fee.

Patrick Greene must permanently remove any dog from the premises on or before Sunday 22 February 2026.

If the tenant fails to permanently remove any dog by the date in [3] the tenancy at [Tenancy address suppressed] will terminate and the landlord will have immediate possession of the premises.

Reasons

Both parties attended the hearing.

The landlord has applied for termination of the tenancy and the application filing fee.

The tenant wants a final opportunity to avoid immediate termination.

Should a conditional termination order be made?

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. Where the breach is capable of remedy the landlord must first serve a notice on the tenant requiring them to remedy the breach within at least 14 days, and establish that the tenant has failed to do so. See section 56(1) Residential Tenancies Act 1986.

The tenant breached their obligations by having a dog at the premises, counter to the tenancy agreement. On 1 April 2025 the landlord served the first 14-day notice on the tenant but the breach was not remedied within the required period, nor after subsequent such notices.

The issue then came before the Tribunal via a previous landlord application and an Order dated 24 September 2025 ordered the dog removed from the premises, on or before Wednesday 15 October 2025. If that order was not complied with the landlord could bring a further application to the Tribunal, seeking termination.

The dog remained. An application for termination of the tenancy for the tenant failure to remedy was submitted by the landlord on 13 December 2025. The dog still remains.

It would be inequitable to refuse to terminate the tenancy. The issue has been live for over ten months. The tenant states he has been actively seeking a home for the dog and expresses no desire to keep it. However, the current situation cannot continue. I heard from the landlord that confirmed the earlier order recording the unsuitability still stands (copied below):

Despite my finding that it would be inequitable to refuse to terminate the tenancy, having heard the evidence I am satisfied the tenant understands the consequences of any failure to remove the dog within the period specified in this order. He is motivated and the terms of this Order may assist him in accessing external support for a successful rehoming. I have granted a conditional termination. See section 78(3) Residential Tenancies Act 1986.

The conditional termination order will lapse if it is fully complied with. If the tenant breaches the order, the possession order is enforceable for 90 days from the first breach. See section 64(4)(b) Residential Tenancies Act 1986.

Because [The applicant/s] has wholly succeeded with the claim I must reimburse the filing fee.
