Filing Fee Rent arrears

Order

An application for suppression has been made in this case, and the Tribunal orders suppression of the Landlord name and identifying details.
The tenancy of Tinani Wilson, Okeroa Elizabeth Laukau and Faith Piata Laukau at [Tenancy address suppressed] is terminated, and possession is granted to [The landlord/s], at 5pm on Wednesday, 2 August 2023.
The Bond Centre is to pay the bond of $3,520.00 ([Bond number suppressed]) to [The landlord/s] immediately.
Tinani Wilson, Okeroa Elizabeth Laukau and Faith Piata Laukau must pay [The landlord/s] $2,259.44 immediately, calculated as shown in the table below: DescriptionLandlord Rent arrears$5,759.00 Filing fee reimbursement$20.44 Total award$5,779.44 Bond$3,520.00 Total payable by Tenant to Landlord$2,259.44

Reasons

The landlord attended the hearing which was held by telephone. The tenant did not attend. It tried to contact the tenant on the phone number in the application but the call went to voicemail.
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 claimed rent arrears to the date of hearing but disclosed that, with the tenant’s consent, it took possession of the property a week ago. Accordingly, I determine that the termination date was 2 August 2023, and that the landlord is entitled to rent until that date, not to the date of hearing. The landlord provided rent records which prove the amount owing at the end of the tenancy.
The landlord also wanted to amend its claim to include compensation for damage and clean up costs. Those costs have not yet been incurred and invoiced, so were not considered at the hearing today. The landlord may make a separate claim once the work has been finished and costs have been incurred.
As the landlord was the successful party I have granted its request for suppression of its details and awarded reimbursement of the filing fee.
