Order

An application for suppression has been made in this case, and the Tribunal orders suppression of the Landlord name and identifying details.
The tenancy of Jatinder Chauhan and Jeralyn Tagle at [Tenancy address suppressed] is terminated, and possession is granted to [The landlord/s], at
59 am on Monday 6 January 2025.
Jatinder Chauhan and Jeralyn Tagle must pay [The landlord/s] $44,009.13 immediately, calculated as shown in the table below:

Reasons

Both parties attended this video hearing.
The landlord has applied for termination of the tenancy and rent arrears.
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 will be $42,500.00. The landlord is required to mitigate losses caused by a breach of a provision of the tenancy agreement, in this case a failure to pay rent.
The landlord explained that this is his third application to the Tribunal regarding this tenancy. In the most recent hearing a conditional termination order was made. The tenant did make some of the payments required. The order was then more than 90 days old. The landlord provided the assistance of a senior beneficiary advocate to the tenant to assist in their dealings with WINZ. The assistance did not bring rent payments back into line. No rent has been paid since July 2024. I am satisfied that the landlord has made reasonable efforts to mitigate its losses.
The tenant put forward a further conditional termination proposal to the Tribunal which would have taken in excess of four years to pay off the debt. The tenants’ past history of failing to comply with Tribunal orders, meant that I can have no confidence that the tenants would keep to any payment plan. I would be setting them up to fail.
I have extended the termination date as I am conscious of the difficulty of finding accommodation over the holiday period and the also the availability of court bailiffs to enforce the order if necessary.
The landlord provided water rates records showing the amount owing as of 13 December 2024 is $1,482.13.
As [The applicant/s] has wholly succeeded with the claim I must order the tenants to reimburse the filing fee.
Both parties applied for name suppression. The landlord has been wholly successful in this matter and suppression of the landlord name and details is ordered. The tenants have not been wholly successful and the tenants application for name suppression is dismissed.
