Order

An application for suppression has been made in this case, and the Tribunal orders suppression of the [Tenant] name and identifying details.
The tenancy of [The tenant/s] at [Tenancy address suppressed] is terminated, and possession is granted to Kāinga Ora–Homes And Communities, at 23.59 pm, Friday, 24 January 2025.
The Bond Centre is to pay the bond of $236.00 ([Bond number suppressed]) to Kāinga Ora–Homes And Communities immediately.
[The tenant/s] must pay Kāinga Ora–Homes And Communities $738.57 immediately, calculated as shown in the table below: DescriptionLandlord Rent arrears to 24 January 2025$947.57 Filing fee reimbursement$27.00 Total award$974.57 Bond$236.00 Total payable by Tenant to Landlord$738.57

Reasons

The landlord’s representative, Ms Smith, attended the hearing via teleconference.
[The tenant/s] did not attend the hearing. Ms Smith told me he was in prison and had not resided at the tenancy address since about mid to late November 2024. This would breach Clause 26 of the Tenancy Agreement [The tenant/s] signed.
Ms Smith also informed me that the court had declined [The tenant/s] EM bail application. This further indicated that [The tenant/s] would not soon reside at the tenancy address. It was not known when [The tenant/s] might be released.
The landlord has applied for termination of the tenancy, rent arrears and refund of the bond.
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. Filing fee
Because Kāinga Ora–Homes And Communities has wholly succeeded with the claim I must reimburse the filing fee. Name suppression
Ms Smith sought name suppression and identifying details [The tenant/s]. She is concerned that [The tenant/s] is in custody, and she does not know the reason for his incarceration.
Ms Smith further submitted that if [The tenant/s] name and identifying details were published, it would be unfair to [The tenant/s] because he did not attend the hearing today and he might face difficulty if he were to seek a new tenancy after his release from custody.
In the circumstances, I accept Ms Smith’s submissions that [The tenant/s] name and identifying details would not be justified.
Accordingly, I grant Ms Smith’s application to suppress [The tenant/s] name and identifying particulars.
