Order

The tenancy of Samisoni Manu Taufa at [Tenancy address suppressed] is terminated, and possession is granted to [The landlord/s], immediately. Samisoni Manu Taufa must pay [The landlord/s] $1,927.14 immediately, calculated as shown in the table below:
This matter is determined as indicated by the orders above, but the landlord is granted a period of 60 days within which, to serve notice of the intention dispose of the tenant’s belongings on the tenant. If within those 60 days the landlord can show that they have made all reasonable attempts to contact the tenant to arrange for the tenant goods to be collected, they can request that the application be brought back before to the Tribunal with new evidence in respect of that notice to the tenant and the matter will be re-opened.

Reasons

The landlord attended this remote hearing.
The tenant did not attend. The tenant is currently in prison.
The landlord has applied for termination of the tenancy, rent arrears and disposal of the tenant’s goods.
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 (“RTA”).
The rent is substantially in arrears and no payments have been made by the tenant for in excess of three months. In exercising my jurisdiction, I make reference to s.85 RTA, which amongst other things requires the Tribunal to deal with matters expeditiously.
The landlord provided rent records which prove the amount owing at the end of the tenancy is $1,900.14.
The landlord applied to dispose of the tenant goods. I am not satisfied that the landlord has made all reasonable attempts to contact the tenant to arrange for the tenant to uplift their belongings (see s.62(2) RTA).
I have allowed the landlord 60 days to deal with this matter. If they do so, they should contact Tenancy Services to have this matter recalled. In the interim, the landlord may remove the tenant belongings from the premises and secure those personal belongings and personal documents in safe storage to await any claim by the tenant or further order of the Tribunal.
The landlord applied for name suppression. The landlord has been substantially successful and suppression of the landlord name and details is ordered.
