Order

The tenancy of Daeshanah-lee Stevens at 62 Hinemoa Street, Levin, Levin 5510 is terminated, and possession is granted to Seddon Street Property Management Limited As Agent For Isabelle Cameron, at 7pm Sunday 25 February 2024.
The Bond Centre is to pay, from the bond, $1,640.44 (3263777-013) to Seddon Street Property Management Limited As Agent For Isabelle Cameron immediately, calculated as shown in the table below:
The balance of the bond of $519.56 is to remain at the Bond Centre.

Reasons

The landlord attended the hearing, conducted via video. The tenant did not join and a call out was made. The call went unanswered and to voicemail. The landlord offered an alternative to try. That too went unanswered. I was satisfied adequate service had completed and I continued with the hearing after the calls went unanswered.
The landlord has applied for termination of the tenancy for breach of the tenant’s obligations.

Should the tenancy be terminated?

The Tribunal may terminate a tenancy for breach where, due to the nature or extent of the breach, it would be inequitable to refuse to terminate. See section 56(1) Residential Tenancies Act 1986.
Where the breach is capable of remedy the landlord must first serve a notice on the tenant requiring them to remedy the breach within at least 14 days and establish that the tenant has failed to do so.
The tenant has breached their obligations by failing to pay rent and rent arrears.
The landlord served a 14-day notice on the tenant on 31 December 2023 and the tenant did not remedy the breach within the required period.
It would be inequitable to refuse to terminate the tenancy because since the notice to remedy there have been no regular rent payments and the rent arrears has increased. A recent lump sum payment on behalf of the tenant from an agency has reduced the rent arrears but it stills remain higher than at the date of the notice and there is no evidence that rent payments will resume.
Because Seddon Street Property Management Limited As Agent For Isabelle Cameron has wholly succeeded with the claim I must reimburse the filing fee.
