Filing Fee Rent arrears

Order

An application for suppression has been made in this case, and the Tribunal orders suppression of the Landlord’s name and identifying details.
The tenancy of Trevor Ford and Sarai Selwyn at [Tenancy address suppressed] is terminated, and possession is granted to [The landlord/s] , at 2pm today 22 December 2023.
Trevor Ford and Sarai Selwyn must pay [The landlord/s] $10,820.44 immediately, as set out below

Reasons

Only the landlord attended the hearing.
The landlord has applied for termination of the tenancy, rent arrears and the filing fee.
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 has proven the amount owing at the end of the tenancy.
The Landlord has been under significant pressure in relation to the tenant’s conduct in this matter. Not only are the arrears of rent substantial but the tenants have put the landlords in breach of the relevant body corporate rules by such activities as: parking their vehicles in spaces not allocated for them, operating power tools at 1:00 and 2:00 AM in the morning, and setting up a workshop area the garage space to work from.
They landlord visited the premises recently and noticed a number of boxes all packed up which indicated the tenants understand they need to move out. The tenants have texted the landlords to say that they are unable to afford to pay the rent and they are just waiting for the tribunal to evict them.
The landlord says that there will be significant post compensation that will need to be sought subsequently. The oven has been broken by the tenants and the curtains have also been broken.
This is unfortunately a very sad story of landlords trying to do the right this and get ahead life by working hard to buy rental property, only to have an extremely bad experience that will cost them thousands and create a lot of personal stress for them just before Christmas. The tenant’s conduct has been horrendous and completely dismissive of the landlord’s property. For that reason, I am prepared to make an order for immediate termination today.
Because [The landlord/s] has wholly succeeded with the claim I must reimburse the filing fee.
