The Tribunal orders suppression of the parties’ names and identifying details.

The Bond Centre is to pay the bond of $2,120.00 ([Bond number suppressed]) immediately apportioned as follows: [The landlord/s]: $1,779.18 [The tenant/s]: $340.82

The term of the fixed-term tenancy of [The tenant/s] at [Tenancy address suppressed] is reduced and now ends on Monday 7 April 2026.

[The tenant/s] must pay [The landlord/s] $1,779.18.

Reasons

Both parties attended the hearing which took place by MS Teams.

The tenant has applied for reduction of the fixed-term tenancy due to end on 8 September 2026.

The Tribunal may reduce a fixed term tenancy where: a. there has been an unforeseen change in the applicant’s circumstances; and b. there would be severe hardship to the applicant if the term is not reduced; and c. the applicant’s hardship would be greater than the hardship to the other party if the term is reduced. See section 66(1) Residential Tenancies Act 1986.

There has been an unforeseen change in the tenant's circumstances. The tenant provided medical evidence of a severe condition that requires her to move towns where she can receive the medical and family support that she needs for her recovery.

The tenant would suffer severe hardship if the term of the tenancy were not reduced. The tenant was released from hospital at the end of March and her family have assisted her in vacating the premises which was completed on 7 April 2026. I am satisfied that she is not able to continue the tenancy at this time and she would suffer physical and financial hardship if the term of the tenancy were not reduced.

The landlord would suffer hardship if the term is reduced. The property manager stated that the premises are currently vacant and although she is taking active steps for find a new tenant and is hopeful one will be found soon it is likely the premises will be vacant for at least 2-3 weeks.

I find that the tenant’s hardship would be greater than the landlord’s hardship. The landlord does not oppose the tenancy ending.

Where the Tribunal reduces a fixed-term tenancy, it may order the tenant to pay the landlord reasonable compensation for any resulting loss. See section 66(2) Residential Tenancies Act 1986.

I award compensation of $750.00 to the landlord, taking into account the cost of early advertising and reletting the premises and that the premises have currently been vacant for a week.

The parties agree to the following deductions from the bond in settlement of all remaining end of tenancy matters: Rent arrears to 7 April 2026, $454.29 End of tenancy cleaning, rubbish removal, repair costs, $592.54 Key cut, $10.35

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

The Tribunal may on the application of any party or on its own initiative make a suppression order, having regard to the interests of the parties and to the public interest. Section 95A (4) Residential Tenancies Act 1986. Having considered the factors in this case including the sensitive issues the tenant is currently facing and the level of agreement reached today between the parties the Tribunal finds that the interests of the parties outweighs any public interest in their identities being published and orders suppression of all identifying details.
