Order

- The tenancy of Kelsie Chalotte Blade, Chad Hope at Unit/Flat 410, 6A Nugent Street, Grafton, Auckland 1023 is terminated, and possession is granted to the landlord, at 11:59pm on Wednesday 13 March 2024.
- The Bond Centre is to pay the bond of $3,180.00 ([Bond number suppressed]) to the landlord immediately.
- Kelsie Chalotte Blade and Chad Hope must pay the landlord $7,292.06 immediately, calculated as set out in the table below.
Reasons
- The landlord attended the hearing. The tenant did not.
- I am satisfied that the tenant had received proper notice of the hearing time, date and place and chose not to attend.
- The landlord has tried to make contact with the tenant numerous times to find out why the rent is in such a significant amount of arrears but gets no response. The landlord is unsure whether the tenant has abandoned the property and will not know until it has taken possession. Termination of tenancy and possession
- The landlord has applied for termination of the tenancy, rent and water arrears, refund of the bond and reimbursement of 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 provided rent and water rates records which prove the amount owing at the end of the tenancy. Reimbursement of the filing fee
- Because the lanldord has wholly succeeded with the claim I must reimburse the filing fee.
