Tenantcheck Insights

Order

The tenancy of [The tenant/s] at Unit/Flat 8, 41 Cameron Road, Hamilton East, Hamilton 3216 is terminated, and possession is granted to Lodge City Rentals Limited As Agent For K Lim, immediately.

[The tenant/s] must pay Lodge City Rentals Limited As Agent For K Lim $4,230.00 immediately, being rent arrears to 7/6/2024.

The application for rehearing is dismissed. The stay of proceedings is lifted.

Reasons

Only the applicant landlord attended both the original hearing and the rehearing this morning.

After the re-hearing had concluded the tenant contacted the registry advising that his phone had blocked the calls and requesting a call.

Mr Herbert then advised that he considered the property needed maintenance and that he also considered the landlord needed to provide confirmation of the arrears to WINZ so the rent arrears could be paid. The Act imposes no such obligation. A tenant is assumed to know they must pay the rent they have agreed to pay and that they will be in breach if they do not do that and that the landlord can apply for termination if they fail to pay the rent.

On 16 May 2024 the Tribunal made an order terminating the tenancy because of substantial rent arrears.

On 16 May 2024 applied for a rehearing on the grounds that he had not been contacted for the hearing.

The matter was set for a hearing to consider that rehearing application and the order advised that at least the weekly rent MUST be paid until the application was reheard. Mr Herbert has not paid any rent whatsoever since 9 April (when he paid $180 which is less than half the weekly rent). Mr Herbert has not paid any rent at all since he made the re-hearing application.

Mr Herbert is able to make an application to the Tribunal if he considers the landlord is in breach, but he has not done that. Despite his protestations the tenancy must be terminated because of the high level of rent arrears.

The application for re-hearing is dismissed and the stay of proceedings lifted with effect that the termination ordered can be enforced immediately.

The applicant requested that the rent arrears be updated to include the rent arrears that have continued to accrue since the original order was issued. It is appropriate to do that. The bond has subsequently been distributed to the landlord, so the amount ordered is after deduction of the bond.

To avoid doubt the rent was more than 21 days in arrears at the date the applicant applied to the Tribunal for termination because of rent arrears and is now considerably more than that in arrears. The tenancy must be terminated under s 55(1) (a) RTA.
