The tenancy of Hale Terepo and Teisa Terepo at [Tenancy address suppressed] is terminated, and possession is granted to [The landlord/s], at 11.59pm on Friday 7 March 2025.
The Bond Centre is to pay the bond of $930.00 ([Bond number suppressed]) to [The landlord/s] immediately.
Hale Terepo and Teisa Terepo must pay [The landlord/s] $17,872.11 immediately, calculated as shown in the table below:

Reasons

Only the landlord, represented by [The landlord’s representative/s], attended the hearing, which was conducted via teleconference. Three attempts were made to contact the tenant, and on each occasion, the call went to voicemail. As the tenant has been notified, the hearing proceeded.
The landlord has applied for termination of the tenancy, rent arrears and payment from the bond. I have also accepted the landlord’s oral application to amend the claim to include water charges.
After the hearing, the landlord provided an updated rent summary and copies of the relevant Watercare invoices. This information was received on 27 February 2025.

Should the tenancy be terminated?

I am satisfied that the landlord has established the grounds for termination of the tenancy. Rent was at least 21 days in arrears on the date the application was filed. At the date of the hearing, rent was well over 21 days in arrears. The landlord provided rent records and oral evidence in support.
Accordingly, the tenancy is terminated under section 55(1)(a) of the Residential Tenancies Act 1986. With the landlord’s consent, the tenancy is terminated 7 days after the date the Tribunal order is issued, to allow the tenants additional time to vacate the premises. However, the tenants will be liable to pay rent up to the date the tenancy ends, on Friday 7 March 2025. Rent arrears and water charges
The landlord’s rent records prove the amount owing up to 28 February 2025. The tenants are to pay a further weeks rent, to the end of the tenancy.
The landlord has provided the Watercare invoices in support of the claimed water charges, which are awarded above. Name suppression
An application for suppression has been made in this case by the landlord. In view of the landlord being successful in the proceedings, the Tribunal orders suppression of the landlord’s name and identifying details.
The landlord has also requested name suppression for the tenants. Having had regard to the interests of the parties and to the public interest, and noting the tenants are the unsuccessful party, the Tribunal declines the landlord’s request to suppress the tenants’ names. Filing fee
Because the landlord has succeeded with the application, the tenants are to pay the landlord’s filing fee.
