An application for suppression has been made in this case, and the Tribunal orders suppression of the [The landlord/s] name and identifying details.

The tenancy of Ihapera Kepa at 106A Tauroa Street, Raumanga, Whangarei 0110 is terminated, and possession is granted to [The landlord/s], as of 28 August 2023.

The Bond Centre is to pay the bond of $1,605.44 ([Bond number suppressed]) to [The landlord/s] immediately.

The Bond Centre is to pay $1,605.44 from the bond of $$1,740.00 ([Bond number suppressed]) to [The landlord/s] immediately.

The balance of the bond of $134.56 is to remain at the Bond Centre.

Reasons

Both parties attended the hearing remotely.

[Agent] appeared before me as the landlord’s agent.

The landlord has applied for termination of the tenancy for abandonment, rent arrears and refund of the bond.

Should the tenancy be terminated?

The Tribunal may terminate the tenancy where the premises have been abandoned and rent is in arrear at the hearing date. See section 61 Residential Tenancies Act 1986. A tenancy is abandoned where the tenant leaves the premises without reasonable excuse, not intending to return or to meet their obligations, and fails to notify the landlord.

On 5 August 2023 [Agent] became aware that the tenant had abandoned the premises after a property manager from another property management company in Auckland informed her that Ms Kepa had secured a new property with them.

Ms Kepa confirmed she had moved out of the property when contacted by [Agent].

Ms Kepa did not dispute moving to a new property, but contested the reasons. I told her to file an application with the Tenancy Tribunal if she wishes to pursue her complaints.

Likewise, [Agent] stated that she would submit a new claim for compensation for water arrears and damages.

Because the premises have been abandoned, and rent is in arrear, the tenancy is terminated as of 28 August 2023.

How much does the tenant owe?

I asked [Agent] the period she said Ms Kepa was liable for the rent in lieu of notice. [Agent] informed me that the rent owed is $1,585 (between 5 August 2023 and 28 August 2023).

Although [Agent] gave me a period for the rent owed, I acknowledge that the amount of rent arrears owed by Ms. Kepa does not match up. I am minded to disturb the total amount of money owed since I had repeatedly asked for the total rent arrears that Ms. Kepa was accountable for.

Accordingly, the amount ordered includes rent in lieu of notice. Suppression order

Because [The landlord/s] has succeeded with the application I grant suppression application. Filing fee

Because [The landlord/s] has wholly succeeded with the claim I must reimburse the filing fee.
