Reasons

The landlord attended this remote teleconference hearing.

The tenant did not attend the hearing.

At 1.57 pm today, I received a message from the tenants recording that a child of theirs had a mental health incident and had run away from home. The tenants applied for an adjournment on those grounds and said that they would not be in a position to answer the telephone at the time of the hearing.

Out of an abundance of caution, telephone calls were made to the tenants on the numbers provided at the allocated hearing time. All calls went to voicemail.

This matter had previously set down for hearing on 10 August 2023. Just prior to the commencement of that hearing, the tenants contacted Tenancy Services to say that they needed an adjournment due to their son’s medical condition.

An adjournment was granted by the Tribunal. In the order dated 10 August 2023 it was made clear that any future adjournments on medical grounds would need to be accompanied by written medical evidence. In the reasons to the order it is noted that further adjournment applications were unlikely to be granted.

Once again, the application for an adjournment has been made at the last minute. No supporting evidence has been provided. The landlord is entitled to have the matter heard. The application is for termination of the tenancy as a result of substantial rent arrears.

The tenant had previously indicated that they intended to file a cross claim against the landlord. Timetabling orders were issued giving a final date for filing the cross claim. The tenant has not filed a cross claim.

Taking into account all of the circumstances above, I dismiss the application for an adjournment.

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

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 will be $19,567.85.

As Mid North Real Estate Limited As Agent For Barry Jordan has wholly succeeded with the claim I must order the tenant to reimburse the filing fee.
