Order
- The Tribunal orders suppression of the tenants’ names and identifying details and the tenancy address.
- The application is dismissed.
Reasons
- [The tenant’s representative], representing both tenants, attended the video conference hearing. The landlord did not join the hearing as per the instructions in the Notice of Hearing so did not attend the hearing. The landlord had been served. We waited almost 10 minutes after the hearing start time before finishing the hearing due to the landlord’s continued non-attendance. No email or correspondence was received from the landlord during this time.
- The applicant did not attend the hearing at the scheduled time, request an adjournment, or notify the Tribunal the matter has settled. See sections 78(1)(i) and 92(1) Residential Tenancies Act 1986.
- The tenant did attend the hearing.
- Given the landlord’s non-attendance at the hearing, I dismiss the application. Suppression
- As the landlord’s application has been dismissed, and to align with an earlier Tribunal order relating to this tenancy, I grant the tenants name suppression. Therefore, I order that the tenants’ names and identifying details and the tenancy address are not to be published. See section 95A(4) Residential Tenancies Act 1986.
