Order
- The application is dismissed.
Reasons
- The applicant attended the hearing. The respondent did not.
- This hearing was to decide whether the Tenancy Tribunal had jurisdiction to hear this claim. It was set down for a jurisdiction hearing because the evidence suggested that this was a flatmate situation where the applicant was renting a room in the primary residence of the respondent. Such situations are excluded from the RTA under Section 5.
- On the day of the hearing the respondent provided a copy of an order made by the dispute’s tribunal on the same matter in favour of the applicant.
- At the hearing the applicant confirmed the order and stated they wished to proceed with todays hearing because the respondent has not complied with the Disputes Tribunals order.
- Given the Disputes Tribunal has already accepted jurisdiction and decided the claim there is no decision to be made today by this Tribunal.
- The Tenancy Tribunal is not the appropriate forum for the concerns the applicant has raised in the hearing. If they wish, they may seek advice about enforcement by contacting the Ministry of Justice Civil enforcement unit or seeking independent legal advice.
