Order

The tenancy of Ihaia Patuwai at [Tenancy address suppressed] is terminated, and possession is granted to [The landlord/s], at 5.00pm on 20 May 2024.
The Bond Centre is to pay $1,466.15 from the bond of $2,400.00 ([Bond number suppressed]) to [The landlord/s] immediately.
The balance of the bond of $933.85 is to remain at the Bond Centre.

Reasons

The Landlord attended the hearing by telephone. The Tenant did not answer the telephone calls made by the Tribunal or attend by video.
The landlord has applied for termination of the tenancy for breach of the tenant’s obligations, rent arrears, refund of the bond and reimbursement of the filing fee.

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 when it is due.
The landlord served a 14-day notice on the tenant on 18 January 2024 and the tenant did not remedy the breach within the required period.
It would be inequitable to refuse to terminate the tenancy because the Tenant has been consistently in arrears since November 2024.
The landlord sought a conditional termination however the Tenant was not present to satisfy me that that they would pay their debt within a timeframe specified and they were unlikely to commit any further breach. For these reasons, I have not granted a conditional termination. See section 78(3) Residential Tenancies Act 1986.
The landlord has applied for rent arrears and has provided rent records which prove the amount owing.
As [The landlord/s] has wholly succeeded with the claim the Tenant must reimburse the filing fee and name suppression is granted to the Landlord.
