Order

The tenancy of Jessica Rongopai Duff at 91 Talbot Street, Whanganui East, Whanganui 4500 is terminated, and possession is granted to Inspire Property Management Ltd As Agent For Peter & Robyn Waaka, at 11:59pm on Monday 25 November 2024.
Jessica Rongopai Duff must pay Inspire Property Management Ltd As Agent For Peter & Robyn Waaka $1,456.00 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 applied for termination of the tenancy for breach of the tenant’s obligations 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 the rent in full and on time every week over a prolonged period. The rent summary shows a pattern of underpayment of rent on a regular basis and periods of nonpayment of rent.
The rent arrears was more than 21 days in arrears at the date the landlord made its application to the Tribunal for termination of the tenancy, being 14 August 2024. (Refer to s55(1)(a) of the RTA).
The landlord also served a 14-day notice on the tenant for rent arrears on 22 July 2024 and the tenant did not remedy the breach within the required period. The tenant is still in more than 21 days of rent arrears as at today.
It would be inequitable to refuse to terminate the tenancy because the tenant has a pattern of underpayment and nonpayment of rent and the owners of the property have bills to pay that they rely on regular rental income to pay. It is no long fiscally viable for them to continue to wait for rent arrears they have no guarantee the tenant can or will pay, in addition to her weekly rental payments.
For the reasons outlined above, the tenant’s tenancy is terminated and possession granted to the landlord. Reimbursement of the filing fee
Because Inspire Property Management Ltd As Agent For Peter & Robyn Waaka has wholly succeeded with the claim I must reimburse the filing fee.
