Order

An application for suppression has been made in this case, and the Tribunal orders suppression of the landlords name and identifying details.
The tenancy of Kerri Gerber and Ricki Morrison at [Tenancy address suppressed] is terminated, and possession is granted to [The landlord/s], at 11:59 pm on Tuesday 15 August 2023.
The Bond Centre is to pay the bond of $2,740.00 ([Bond number suppressed]) to [The landlord/s] immediately.
Kerri Gerber and Ricki Morrison must pay [The landlord/s] $25,311.70 immediately, calculated as shown in the table below: DescriptionLandlord Rent arrears$25,027.36 Water rates$3,003.90 Filing fee reimbursement$20.44 Total award$28,051.70 Bond$2,740.00 Total payable by Tenant to Landlord$25,311.70

Reasons

Only the landlord attended the hearing.
I am satisfied that the tenants are aware of the hearing. I note Ms Gerber requested an adjournment of a prior hearing due to being unwell. The adjournment was granted, but the adjudicator directed that Ms Gerber file a medical certificate with the Tribunal. She failed to do so. Today Ms Gerber requested a further adjournment due to a bereavement of a close friend. In the circumstances the request was declined, and Ms Gerber advised the hearing was to proceed.
I have received no communication from Mr Morrison explaining why he would not be at the hearing.
As I consider the tenants were aware of the hearing, I have proceeded to consider the landlords claims.
The landlord has applied for termination of the tenancy, rent arrears and refund of the bond.
Rent was at least 21 days in arrears on the date the application was filed. The tenancy is terminated. See section 55(1)(a) Residential Tenancies Act 1986.
The landlord provided rent records which prove the amount owing at the end of the tenancy, which as of 11:59pm on 15 August 2023 will be $25,027.36. That is ordered.
The landlord has also claimed $3,003.90 for volumetric water used at the premises. That claim is established and ordered.
The landlord has applied for name suppression, which is granted because she has been successful.
The landlord asked at the hearing how the order for payment of money or eviction is enforced. As I noted at the hearing that is done on line at the following address: https://www.justice.govt.nz/fines/about-civil-debt/pay-civil-debt/
