Order

An application for suppression has been made in this case, and the Tribunal orders suppression of the landlord’s name and identifying details.
The tenancy of William Ryan, Alex Minhinnick, Sailusi Temaka, Jordan Dale and Oliver Dolan at [Tenancy address suppressed] is terminated, and possession is granted to [The landlord/s], at 11:59pm, Saturday 30 November 2024.
The Bond Centre is to pay the bond of $2,880.00 ([Bond number suppressed]) to [The landlord/s] immediately.
William Ryan, Alex Minhinnick, Sailusi Temaka, Jordan Dale and Oliver Dolan must pay [The landlord/s] $3,274.14 immediately, calculated as shown in the table below:

Reasons

An employee of the property management company attended the hearing as agent for the landlord. Jordan Dale attended the hearing on behalf of the tenants.
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 as at the time and date stated.
Mr Dale stated the tenants have mostly moved out of the property, but some of their belongings remain at the property. He confirmed the keys have not been handed back to the landlord. He stated all of the tenants work and requested to have until the end of the weekend to vacate the property fully and return the keys.
The landlord’s agent requested immediate termination and stated the landlord wanted to regain possession to assess the property for damage and/or carry out work to prepare the property for re-tenanting.
I consider termination at midnight on Saturday a fair compromise. I consider that it is in the landlord’s best interest that the tenants be given a reasonable time to vacate the property. I note that rent continues to be due up until the property is vacated.

How much does the tenant owe?

The landlord provided rent records which prove the amount owing at today’s date.
The tenant accepted the rent arrears sought by the landlord was owed. He stated it was due to one flatmate refusing to pay his rent. As I advised Mr Dale, in this jurisdiction and as per the tenancy agreement, the tenants are jointly liable for rent.
I make an order for rent owing to today’s date as well as rent due to the end of the tenancy.

Should the tenants reimburse the filing fee?

As the landlord has succeeded in its claim the tenants must reimburse the filing fee.
