Order

The tenancy of [The tenant/s] at Unit/Flat Flat 1, 384 Armagh Street, Linwood, Christchurch 8011 is terminated, and possession is granted to Accommodation Centre Limited As Agent For S Loveridge, at 11.59pm, Sunday 13 April 2025.

Reasons

The landlord attended the hearing. The tenant did not attend the hearing. An attempt was made to join the tenant to the hearing by telephone, but the call went to voicemail. The hearing proceeded in the tenant’s absence.
The landlord has applied for termination of the tenancy for breach of the tenant’s obligations.

Should the tenancy be terminated?

The Tribunal may terminate a tenancy for breach where, due to the nature or extent of the breach, it would be inequitable to refuse to terminate. See section 56(1) Residential Tenancies Act 1986.
Where the breach is capable of remedy the landlord must first serve a notice on the tenant requiring them to remedy the breach within at least 14 days and establish that the tenant has failed to do so.
The tenant has breached their obligations by not keeping the premises reasonably clean and tidy (section 40(1)(c) Residential Tenancies Act 1986.
The landlord served a 14-day notice on the tenant on 2 December 2024, and the tenant did not remedy the breach within the required period.
It would be inequitable to refuse to terminate the tenancy because the landlord provided the tenant with two opportunities to remedy the breach, but the tenant did not do so. After the 14-day notice the landlord carried out an inspection on 18 December 2024. An email dated 20 December 2024 lists the issues that still had not been resolved. The landlord advised that a further inspection would take place on 24 January 2025.
The landlord produced photographs taken at the inspect on 24 January 2025. Those photographs show that the premises are not being kept reasonably clean and tidy. I refer to the unmown lawn and large weeds in the garden and stains on the carpet.
Because Accommodation Centre Limited As Agent For S Loveridge has wholly succeeded with the claim I must reimburse the filing fee.
