Order

The tenancy of Jamie Rae McLeod- James at [Tenancy address suppressed] is terminated, and possession is granted to [The landlord/s], at 11.59pm on Friday 19 April 2024.
The tenant must allow the landlord access to the premises for two viewings per week from 29 March 2024 to 19 April 2024 (the last three weeks of the tenancy).
Jamie Rae McLeod- James must pay [The landlord/s] $20.44 immediately in reimbursement of the filing fee.

Reasons

Both parties attended the hearing. Ms [Y] attended on behalf of the landlord.
The landlord applied for termination of the tenancy, rent arrears, refund of the bond and reimbursement of the filing fee.
The tenant had filed a cross application as she felt she had been treated discourteously by the landlord during this difficult time.
However, rent was at least 21 days in arrears on the date the application was filed and therefore the tenancy is terminated under section 55(1)(a) of the Residential Tenancies Act 1986.
The tenancy began on 23 December 2023 and by the application date (9 February 2024) the rent was over 21 days in arrears. The landlord provided rent records to prove this.
In the period leading up to the hearing date, the tenant had been able to bring the arrears up to date.
However, the Tribunal cannot be satisfied that it is unlikely that the tenant will commit further breaches of this kind.
The landlord agreed to give the tenant six weeks to arrange alternative accommodation on the basis that the landlord will be able to hold viewings of the premises twice each week for the last three weeks of the tenancy.
The tenant must continue to pay rent as it falls due to the end of the tenancy.
As [The applicant/s] has wholly succeeded with the claim I must reimburse the filing fee.
