Reasons

Both parties attended the telephone hearing.

The landlord has applied for termination of the tenancy for 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.
The tenant suggested he was owed money by the landlord for painting work he had completed at the property. However, no information or evidence in relation to this was before me and no cross application has been made by the tenant.
The tenant is welcome to make a Tribunal application of his own in relation to these claims.
The landlord gave evidence that they had accepted two weeks’ notice from the tenant in order to reduce the rent arrears obligation, but the tenant had not been able to vacate by the required date.
The tenant confirmed that he was in the process of moving out and required another day or so.
I have ended the tenancy at the end of the current rent period being 26 February 2025 so that the tenant is able to finish moving out and complete his end of tenancy obligations in terms of cleaning and removing all rubbish.

How much does the tenant owe?

The landlord provided rent records which prove the amount owing to 12 February 2025 being $3,699.01 with an extra $500 per week for each of the two additional weeks to the termination date creating a rent obligation of $4,699.01.
As Lugton's Limited has wholly succeeded with the claim I must reimburse the filing fee.
