Filing Fee Rent arrears

Order

The tenancy of [The tenant/s] at 8 Shewan Road, Gordonton, RD 1, Hamilton 3281 is terminated, and possession is granted to [The landlord/s], at 11:59pm Friday 22 November 2024.
[The tenant/s] must pay [The landlord/s] $10,577.00 immediately, calculated as shown in the table below:

Reasons

Both parties attended the hearing by remote teleconference. During the hearing the tenant’s call was disconnected. An attempt was made to call him back on the same telephone number however the call went straight to voicemail.
The landlord has applied for termination of the tenancy, rent arrears and reimbursement of the filing fee.
Rent was at least 21 days in arrears on the date the application was filed. The tenancy is terminated. See section 55(1)(a) Residential Tenancies Act 1986.
The landlord provided rent records which prove the amount owing at the end of the tenancy. During the hearing the tenant acknowledged the rent debt and accepted responsibility for it. He stated that he was making attempts to have the rent debt paid by withdrawing his Kiwisaver funds and borrowing money from family.
The landlord stated that the tenant has given a number of assurances over the last few months that the debt would be paid. To date this has still not happened. In the circumstances the landlord is concerned that the rent debt will continue to grow if action is not taken.
I have considered whether a conditional termination order is appropriate in this case, and I am satisfied that it is not. Based on the payment history and the significant rent arrears I cannot be confident that the rent arrears will be paid immediately. The landlord has requested termination in their application and in my view it is an appropriate order to make.
Having sighted the landlord’s rent ledger I am satisfied that the tenant is responsible for this debt.
Because [The landlord/s] has wholly succeeded with the claim I must reimburse the filing fee.
The landlord confirmed during the hearing that they are not seeking name suppression.
