Order

No application for suppression has been made in this case and no suppression orders apply around publication of this decision.
The landlord withdrew its application for $200 for an eviction warrant.
The tenancy of [The tenant/s] at 161A Hillside Road, Papatoetoe, Auckland 2025 is terminated, and possession is granted to Lighthouse Real Estate Limited, at 11.59pm on Thursday 7 September 2023.
The Bond Centre is to pay the bond of $2,360.00 (5073979-012) to Lighthouse Real Estate Limited immediately.
[The tenant/s] must pay Lighthouse Real Estate Limited $1,928.54 immediately, calculated as shown in the table below:

Reasons

Only the landlord attended the hearing. The tenant did not answer the telephone when she was called multiple times. I am satisfied she has been served and the hearing therefore proceeded in her absence.
The landlord has applied for termination of the tenancy, rent arrears, water use, refund of the bond and to be reimbursement of the filing fee. The landlord also claims for $200 for a warrant fee. Mediator’s order
A mediator’s order was made on 14 June 2023 and sealed by the Tribunal. It made a conditional termination order. However, the tenant complied with this order. This means the landlord cannot seek termination and possession based on that past order. Arrears and termination
The landlord was given time at the hearing to produce an updated rent summary because the summary filed did not properly account for the amounts set out in the mediator’s order dated 14 June 2023. An updated summary was produced.
I am satisfied the updated rent records provided prove the amount sought by the landlord and ordered as the amount owing at 7 September 2023.
I told the landlord at the hearing that I thought the rent summary might remain inaccurate in its final calculation due to the way in which it had been set out by the landlord. The landlord was satisfied to limit its claim for arrears to $4,214.27 to 7 September 2023. I am satisfied that the landlord has not claimed more than they are entitled to.
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. Water
The landlord provided water rates invoices and records which prove the amount owing for water use is $53.83 up to 27 July 2023 (as shown on the invoice dated 28 July 2023). Eviction warrant
The landlord withdrew the application for $200 for an eviction warrant. The landlord had incurred this sum in trying to enforce the mediator’s order dated 14 June 2023 that had been complied with so the application for eviction should not have been made. Filing fee and suppression
The landlord has been substantially successful, so I award the filing fee.
No application has been made for suppression.
