Order

An application for suppression has been made in this case, and the Tribunal orders suppression of the Landlord name and identifying details.
The tenancy of Te Manawapa Pomarenu Moke at [Tenancy address suppressed] is terminated, and possession is granted to [The landlord/s], at 5:00pm on Tuesday 8 April 2025.
Te Manawapa Pomarenu Moke must pay [The landlord/s] $1,737.29 immediately, being rent arrears to 7 April 2025.

Reasons

The landlord’s representative attended the hearing. The tenant did not attend and has not contacted the Tribunal. I decided to continue the hearing in his absence because he has been posted notice of the hearing to the tenancy address and to a contact email address.
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. This is grounds to terminate the tenancy. See section 55(1)(a) Residential Tenancies Act 1986.
Also, the landlord has supplied evidence that the tenant has not been living at the property for the last four or five months.
It is a condition of this tenancy that the tenant personally live at the address.
I have made a termination order based on the rent arrears which the rent records prove are now $1,737.29. No rent has been paid since 14 November 2024.
I also award the rent owing.
The landlord seeks suppression of both parties’ names. I suppress the landlord’s name but not the tenant’s as there is no evidence to show that his interests outweigh those of the public interest in this case.
