Order
- An application for suppression has been made in this case, and the Tribunal orders suppression of the Tenants’ and Landlord’s name and identifying details.
- [The landlord/s] is granted immediate possession of the premises at [Tenancy address suppressed] immediately.
Reasons
- The landlord’s representative attended the hearing, however neither tenant came in on the video link provided. I phoned the numbers provided for both tenants, leaving a message, however neither call was picked up. I then delayed the beginning of the hearing by approximately five minutes and attempted to call the tenants again. However, no attendance was made. I satisfied myself that the tenants have been correctly served with the notice of hearing, and conducted the hearing in the absence.
- The landlord has applied for possession of the premises following the termination of the tenancy.
- The tenancy ended on 18 March 2026, following a 90 day notice served by hand delivery on 10 December 2025. I am satisfied that the termination notice was correctly served. This application was made to the Tribunal lease than 90 days ago. Therefore, the requirements of section 64(1) of the Residential Tenancies Act 1986 are satisfied.
