Filing Fee Rent arrears

Order

The Tribunal orders suppression of [Tenant 1]’s name and identifying details.
The tenancy of [The tenant/s] at 1A Truscott Place, West Harbour, Auckland 0618 is terminated, and possession is granted to Northwest Realty Limited As Agents For Jjh Holdings Ltd, at 5pm on Wednesday, 7 May 2025.
The Bond Centre is to pay the bond of $990.00 ([Bond number suppressed]) to Northwest Realty Limited As Agents For Jjh Holdings Ltd immediately.
[The tenant/s] must pay Northwest Realty Limited As Agents For Jjh Holdings Ltd $2,900.02 immediately, calculated as shown in the table below: DescriptionLandlord Rent arrears and rent to 7 May 2025$3,863.02 Filing fee reimbursement$27.00 Total award$3,890.02 Bond$990.00 Total payable by Tenant to Landlord$2,900.02

Reasons

Both parties attended the hearing.
Mr Moka attended for the tenants.
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.
I considered whether to make a conditional termination order but could not be satisfied that the debt would be paid or that rent would not fall into arrears in the future. Mr Moka said that he has a meeting this afternoon to try and get assistance to pay the arrears. He has had four months to do so. If the arrears can be repaid promptly, the landlord may consider allowing the tenancy to continue, but on the evidence before me today, I am required to make a termination order.

How much does the tenant owe?

The landlord provided rent records which prove the amount owing at the end of the tenancy.
This is a joint tenancy, and each tenant is jointly and severally liable to the landlord. That means that each of the tenants is liable for the entire rent. As between themselves, the tenants had agreed to pay half the rent each. I note that [Tenant 1] had paid his “share” of the rent consistently and was unaware of this situation until very recently. For that reason, I have suppressed his details.
As the landlord was the successful party, I have granted reimbursement of the Tribunal application fee.
