New Zealand Tenancy Tribunal Case 5486531 — Rent arrears

Q: What was Tenancy Tribunal case 5486531 about?

The tribunal order states: An application for suppression has been made in this case, and the Tribunal

Tenantcheck Insights

Order

An application for suppression has been made in this case, and the Tribunal orders suppression of the landlord’s name and identifying details and the tenancy address.

The tenancy of [The tenant/s] and [The tenant/s] at [Tenancy address suppressed] is terminated, and possession is granted to [The landlord/s], immediately.

[The tenant/s] and [The tenant/s] must pay [The landlord/s] $4,280.00 immediately, being rent arrears to 28 May 2026.

Reasons

[The property manager], representing the landlord, attended the video conference hearing. The tenants did not attend the hearing. As the tenants were served, the hearing proceeded in their absence.

The landlord has applied for termination of the tenancy and rent arrears.

The landlord said that whilst one of the tenants, Mr Rowen, left the property in March 2026, and signed a Change of Tenant form, the other tenant, Ms Owen, did not sign this form and did not provide any other written confirmation that she was willing to assume the tenancy obligations by herself. Given this, both tenants remain liable for the tenancy obligations, including rent arrears.

The property manager said that Mr Rowen messaged them on 9 May 2026 that the other tenant would likely be moving out and later messaged them again on 17 May 2026 that the property was vacant. However, the property manager said that no proper 21 days’ notice to terminate the tenancy was provided by the tenants, the keys were not returned by the tenants either so the locks must be changed, and they have not yet had possession returned to the landlord. The landlord wished to have an order terminating the tenancy and for possession.

The tenancy is formally terminated immediately, as rent arrears are more than 21 days in arrears. See section 55(1)(a) Residential Tenancies Act 2026.

How much rent is owing?

The landlord provided rent records which prove that the tenants owe $4,280.00 to 28 May 2026, which is the end of the tenancy. The landlord confirmed they were happy to only claim rent arrears up to 28 May 2026. Suppression

The landlord requested name suppression and are entitled to this because they have been successful with the claims. Therefore, I order that the landlord’s name and identifying details and the tenancy address are not to be published. See section 95A(1) Residential Tenancies Act 1986.
