The tenancy of John William Macro at 131A Bucklands Beach Road, Bucklands Beach, Auckland 2012 is terminated, and possession is granted to [The landlord/s], at 11:59pm Friday 18 April 2025.

The Bond Centre is to pay the bond of $3,600.00 ([Bond number suppressed]) to [The landlord/s] immediately.

John William Macro must pay [The landlord/s] $6,323.00 immediately, calculated as shown in the table below:

Reasons

Both parties attended the hearing via remote teleconference.

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. The landlord provided a rent ledger for the period up to 30 January 2025. The landlord stated during the hearing that the rent arrears are now far higher than the amount as at the filing date, however has not provided an updated rent ledger to confirm the increased amount.

The landlord will need to file a new application should he wish to claim further rent arrears.

The tenant stated that he can pay the rent arrears in full by the end of the month. The rent arrears are significant, approximately $17,000.00.

The landlord has applied for termination of the tenancy, rent arrears and refund of the bond.

The tenant wants to repay the debt to avoid immediate termination.

Should a conditional termination order be made?

Where rent is at least 21 days in arrears on the date the application was filed, the Tribunal must make either a final or a conditional termination order. See section 55(1)(a) and (1A) Residential Tenancies Act 1986.

In order to grant a conditional termination order I must be satisfied the tenant will pay the debt within the period specified in the order. I must also be satisfied that there will be no further rent breaches.

The tenant has paid no rent since December 2024. A failure to pay rent is a serious breach of a tenant’s obligation. Based on the evidence before me I cannot be satisfied that the arrears will be paid in full by 18 April 2025. I also cannot be satisfied that there will be no further breaches.

Accordingly, I am not prepared to grant a conditional termination order.

Because [The applicant/s] has wholly succeeded with the claim I must reimburse the filing fee.

The Tribunal must, on the application of a party that has wholly or substantially succeeded in proceedings, order that the party’s name or identifying particulars not be published, unless the Tribunal considers that publication is in the public interest or is justified because of the party’s conduct or any other circumstances of the case – section 95A Residential Tenancies Act.

The landlord applied for a name suppression order. The landlord is entitled to name suppression as the application is successful – see section 95A RTA.
