Reasons

The landlord attended this video hearing.
The tenant did not attend by Teams video link. Telephone calls were made to the tenant on the number provided at the allocated hearing time. The calls could not be connected. At the commencement of the hearing the landlord provided another phone number for the tenant. The landlord said that he had spoken to the tenant on that number yesterday and had urged the tenant to answer any call for the hearing. The calls to that number went to voicemail.
The Tribunal may hear matters in the absence of a party where satisfied that notice of the hearing has been given. I am satisfied that notice has been given.
The landlord has applied for termination of the tenancy for breach of the tenant’s obligations.

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 their water rates in full.
The landlord served a 14-day notice on the tenant on 5 August 2024 requiring the tenant to pay their water rates arrears of $1,229.75, and the tenant did not remedy the breach within the required period. The tenant has for some time made a weekly payment of $30.00 towards the water rates. That sum has not been sufficient to meet the costs accumulating.
It would be inequitable to refuse to terminate the tenancy because the landlord has already issued previous 14 day breach notices and the matter has been before the Tribunal previously. The tenant has previously been warned of the likely consequences of failing to pay the water rates arrears.
On 13 August 2024 the Tribunal made an order relating to this tenancy, for water rates arrears to 13 August 2024. The previous order is incorporated into this order for enforcement purposes.
As [The applicant/s] has wholly succeeded with the claim I must reimburse the filing fee.
The landlord has applied for name suppression. The landlord has been wholly successful in this matter and suppression of the landlord name and details is ordered.
