Filing Fee Rent arrears

Order

The tenancy of Dion Carmeron Seymour at 134 Owhiro Bay Parade, Owhiro Bay, Wellington 6023 is terminated, and possession is granted to Huong Thi Thu Do, immediately.
The Bond Centre is to pay the bond of $3,600.00 (5194912-003) to Huong Thi Thu Do immediately.
Dion Carmeron Seymour must pay Huong Thi Thu Do $3,806.14 immediately, calculated as shown in the table below:

Reasons

Only the applicant landlord attended the hearing. The tenant could not be contacted.
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 17/11/2023 the landlord became aware (or ought to have been aware) that the tenant had abandoned the premises. Having learned from the neighbours that it was likely the tenants had left, the landlord gave notice and did an inspection which confirmed that most possessions had been removed and it was unlikely the tenant was returning. The last part rent payment was also received around that time.
Because the premises have been abandoned, and rent is in arrear, the tenancy is terminated immediately.

How much does the tenant owe?

The landlord provided rent records which prove the amount owing at the end of the tenancy. The amount ordered includes rent in lieu of notice.
Because Huong Thi Thu Do has wholly succeeded with the claim I must reimburse the filing fee.
The request received this morning for compensation must be filed, within 2 months, as a further and separate application, that will then be served on the tenant, before orders are made.
