Order
corrects the previous order of the Tribunal dated 1 June 2026, by adding a further order as to the disposal of tenant goods. In all other respects the earlier order remains unchanged.
- [The landlord/s] must take any of the tenant’s personal documents that have been left at the premises to the nearest Police station and obtain a receipt for them.
- The landlord may dispose of the other goods left at the premises by the tenant as the landlord sees fit.
Reasons
- This matter was heard remotely by the Tribunal on 20 May 2026. In the subsequent order dated 1 Jue 2026, the Tribunal overlooked the application made by the landlord for the removal of tenant goods. This order addresses that issue. In all other respects the earlier order is unchanged.
- The landlord has applied for the disposal of goods the tenant left at the premises at the end of the tenancy.
- The landlord agreed on a period when the tenant was to collect the goods, but the tenant failed to collect the goods within that time.
- It is not practicable for the landlord to the return the goods to the tenant. The value of the goods is below the cost of storing, transporting and selling them. Therefore, the landlord may dispose of the goods. See sections 62(3)(b), 62B(2) and (3) Residential Tenancies Act 1986.
