Order

The tenancy of Gayan Damith Weerasinghe at Unit/Flat 1, 52 Gowing Drive, Meadowbank, Auckland 1072 is terminated, and possession is granted to Barfoot & Thompson Limited acting as agent for Peter and Stephen Vodanovich at 11.59pm on Friday, 25 October 2024.
The Bond Centre is to pay the bond of $2,220.00 (3074626-022) to Barfoot & Thompson Limited acting as agent for Peter and Stephen Vodanovich immediately.
Gayan Damith Weerasinghe must pay Barfoot & Thompson Limited acting as agent for Paul and Stephen Vodanovich $2,232.00 immediately, calculated as shown in the table below:

Reasons

Only the landlord attended the hearing which was held by phone. Two calls were placed to the mobile number provided for the tenant but both calls went to voicemail.
I am satisfied that the tenant has been served with the landlord’s application in accordance with the relevant service provisions of the Residential Tenancies Act 1986 and so the hearing proceeded in the tenant’s absence.
The landlord has applied for termination of the tenancy for breach of the tenant’s obligations, rent arrears and refund of the bond.

Should the tenancy be terminated?

Where a landlord applies to terminate for breach, and rent is at least 21 days in arrears on the hearing date, the Tribunal must terminate the tenancy. See sections 55 and 56(2) Residential Tenancies Act 1986.
Rent is at least 21 days in arrears at the hearing date. The tenancy is terminated.

How much does the tenant owe?

The landlord provided rent records which prove the amount owing at the end of the tenancy. Rent is payable weekly in advance and the last payment was to be paid on 12 October 2024 for the period 12 October to 18 October 2024. That payment has not been made and so I have ordered rent payable up to 18 October 2024.
There is a further payment due on 19 October 2024 for the period 19 October to 25 October 2024 which the tenant will need to pay to avoid an additional application by the landlord.
Because Barfoot & Thompson Limited acting as agent for Paul and Stephen Vodanovich has wholly succeeded with the claim I must reimburse the filing fee.
