Order

An application for suppression has been made in this case, and the Tribunal orders suppression of the parties’ names and identifying details.
The tenancy of [The tenant/s] at [Tenancy address suppressed] is terminated, and possession is granted to [The landlord/s], at 5pm on Thursday 30 January 2025.
The Bond Centre is to pay the bond of $1,820.00 to [The landlord/s] immediately.
[The tenant/s] must pay [The landlord/s] $2,907.73 immediately, calculated as shown in the table below:

Reasons

Both parties attended the hearing held today by phone.
The landlord has applied for termination of the tenancy for breach of the tenant’s obligations, 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 requested that a conditional termination rather than termination. The tenant said that he wanted an opportunity to remedy the breach of rent arrears. I have decided to terminate outright rather than grant a conditional termination for the following reasons: a. This tenancy only began in November and to date only 3 weeks rent has been paid. b. The tenant has made previous promises of payment to the landlord which he has not kept. c. The landlord has a mortgage on the property and has had to fund the mortgage payments himself rather than from rent. This has put the landlord in a difficult financial position. d. I do not consider that the amount of rent plus arrears to be paid by the tenant to be sustainable on the tenant’s income.

How much does the tenant owe?

The landlord provided rent records which prove the amount owing at the end of the tenancy. The amount is accepted by the tenant.
I have allowed the tenant a week to leave the property, this is because the tenant has his teenage children living at the property. Filing fee and name suppression
Because [The applicant/s] has substantially succeeded with the claim I have reimbursed the filing fee and grant the landlord name suppression.
I grant the tenant name suppression. Whilst it is in the public interest to know the names of tenants who don’t pay their rent, I consider that the tenant has found himself in this in this difficult situation because of a unique set of circumstances. The tenant was accountable and impressed me with his candidness about his circumstances. I have faith that the tenant will not allow himself to face eviction again due to nonpayment of rent in future tenancies and in this particular set of circumstances I am satisfied that the tenants interest in having his name suppressed outweighs the public interest.
