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

Chloe-Jane MacLeod and Dylan Booth must pay [The landlord/s] $1,321.00 immediately, calculated as shown in table below.

The landlord’s application is amended to add: • a claim for termination of the tenancy because of breaches by the tenants under section 55 of the Residential Tenancies Act 1986 (RTA) • a claim for termination of the tenancy because of breaches by the tenants under section 56 of the RTA • a claim for termination of the tenancy because of breaches to the reasonable peace, comfort, or privacy of the other people living in the neighbourhood under section 40(2)(c) RTA.

The hearing is adjourned.

A further 2 hours should be allowed for the next hearing of this matter, scheduled before me at this court on the next available date.

The landlord will serve a 14 day notice on the tenants by Friday 26 June 2026.

Reasons

The landlord has applied for orders for rent arrears, for repairs, and for removing rubbish. Since the application was filed the landlord has become aware of breaches, including a breach of the neighbours’ quiet enjoyment. I have amended the landlord’s application and the next hearing will decide if the tenancy should end because of breaches of the tenants’ obligations.

How much is owed for rent?

The landlord provided rent records which prove the amount owing at the date of the hearing. This claim is proved and allowed.

Have the tenants complied with their obligations?

There is a claim for removing rubbish. Tenants must keep the premises reasonably clean and tidy during the tenancy, and they must return them in a reasonably clean and tidy state and remove their rubbish at the end of the tenancy. See section 40(1)(c) and (e)(iii) RTA.

This is the landlord’s claim to prove. I was provided with a photo showing a trailer load of rubbish and an invoice for the tip. I find the landlord has proved the claim and the amount claimed is reasonable.

Are the tenants responsible for the damage to the premises?

There is a claim for repairs to the carport. The landlord must prove that damage to the premises occurred during the tenancy and is more than fair wear and tear. If this is established, to avoid liability, the tenant must prove they did not carelessly or intentionally cause or permit the damage. Tenants are liable for the actions of people at the premises with their permission. See sections 40(2)(a), 41 and 49B RTA.

The landlord said the tenant called and advised that he had damaged one of the posts supporting the carport. I have seen a photo of the post and the damage looks to be more than fair wear and tear. The tenants have not disproved liability for the damage. The amount ordered is proved. Other orders

The landlord will talk to Tenancy Services and file a 14 day notice setting out the breaches. The landlord will serve the notice on the tenants.

The next hearing will be about ending the tenancy.

The parties will be notified in writing by Tenancy Services of the date and time of the next hearing.

Because the landlord has substantially succeeded with the claim I have reimbursed the filing fee.

The landlord has applied for suppression. Section 95A RTA provides that the Tribunal may, on the application of any party to proceedings or on its own initiative, order that the name of a party not be published, having regard to the interests of the parties and to the public interest.

The landlord’s name is suppressed because it is the most successful party. The tenants’ names will be published because there is public interest when tenants owe money during a tenancy.
