Rent arrears

Order

Ken Te Tukutuku Haira must pay Kāinga Ora–Homes And Communities $10,519.00 immediately, calculated as shown in table below.

Reasons

The landlord attended the hearing which was held by teleconference. The Tribunal contacted the tenant on the contact number provided in the application but without success. I am satisfied there has been adequate service of the hearing notice and that the tenant ought to be aware of the hearing. I proceeded in the tenant’s absence. Background
This matter relates to an application by the landlord for rent arrears following the end of the tenancy. The tenancy commenced on 1 May 2020 and ended on 9 October 2024. The weekly rent was $126. The landlord seeks to recover $10,519 in unpaid rent accrued during the tenancy. Service
The matter was previously set down for hearing but was adjourned on 9 June 2025 due to issues concerning service of the application on the tenant. The application was filed more than two months after the end of the tenancy, meaning that standard service methods under section 91A(1) of the Residential Tenancies Act 1986 (the “RTA”) no longer applied. As such, the Tribunal directed that service be effected in accordance with section 91A(2) or, failing that, the landlord could apply for substituted service or for service to be dispensed with under section 91B of the RTA.
The Tribunal is satisfied that the tenant could be served by email. The landlord provided evidence of recent communication with the tenant via email as of 5 May 2025. The Tribunal accepts that this email address is reasonably likely to bring the proceedings to the tenant’s attention and therefore qualifies as an appropriate address for service under section 91A(2)(d) of the RTA. The Tribunal is satisfied that the requirements for effective service have now been met and proceeds to determine the substantive matter.

How much is owed for rent?

The tenancy ended on 9 October 2024. The landlord has provided a comprehensive rent summary in support of the claim. The rent records establish a clear pattern of arrears building up over time, culminating in an outstanding balance of $10,519 at the end of the tenancy. The Tribunal is satisfied that the rent summary is accurate and reliable. There is no evidence before the Tribunal to contradict the landlord’s claim, and no response has been received from the tenant.
