302 Ruru Place, Camberley, Hastings 4120 Tenancy Tribunal Case 5478236 — Rent arrears

Tenantcheck Insights

Reasons

On 25 June 2026, the Tribunal made an order for rent arrears and termination of the tenancy.

On 29 June 2026, the tenant applied for a rehearing on the grounds that the tenant’s phone number was outdated at the time of the original hearing. However, the tenant noted that he had been waiting for the Tribunal to call the tenant. This confirms that the tenant had received the notice of hearing.

Section 105(1) Residential Tenancies Act 1986 provides that the Tribunal has the power to order a rehearing where “a substantial wrong or miscarriage of justice has or may have occurred or is likely to occur”.

Usually the party applying for the rehearing must show that something went wrong with the Tribunal’s procedure, for example, that they did not receive notice of the hearing or they were not able to properly present their case. A rehearing may also be granted where there is new evidence that was not reasonably available at the first hearing, if it could have affected the outcome.

The District Court has held that if the Tribunal was simply wrong in its findings of fact, or its application of the law, this is not sufficient to establish a miscarriage of justice: a rehearing is not an alternative to an appeal. Furthermore, a rehearing will not be granted just because a party is unhappy with the decision, or to give them a second opportunity to present their case. Rehearing application dismissed

I find that the tenant has failed to establish the grounds for a rehearing.

The notice of hearing clearly stipulated that the hearing was to be conducted via Microsoft Teams. It had also listed the phone numbers for the parties to call in case any party was unable to connect via the hyperlink provided. There was nothing on the notice of hearing to indicate that the Tribunal was going to call any party for the hearing.

I do not find that there had been a miscarriage of justice.

Although I note that the rent arrears have reduced, the outstanding amount is still significant.

I dismiss the tenant’s application for rehearing.
