Filing Fee Rent arrears

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 Terina Iraina Martini at 25 Hiwi Crescent, Titahi Bay, Porirua 5022 is terminated, and possession is granted to [The landlord/s], immediately.
Terina Iraina Martini must pay [The landlord/s] $4,967.00 immediately, calculated as shown in the table below:

Reasons

Only the applicant landlord attended the hearing. The tenant did not join the video meeting and could not be contacted by telephone.
The landlord has applied for termination of the tenancy for abandonment, rent arrears and refund of the bond.

Should the tenancy be terminated?

The Tribunal may terminate the tenancy where the premises have been abandoned and rent is in arrear at the hearing date. See section 61 Residential Tenancies Act 1986. A tenancy is abandoned where the tenant leaves the premises without reasonable excuse, not intending to return or to meet their obligations, and fails to notify the landlord.
On 23/5/2025 the landlord became aware (or ought to have been aware) that the tenant had abandoned the premises. The landlord attended the property and discovered the property not secure, the power disconnected and that the tenant had removed her items.
Because the premises have been abandoned, and rent is in arrear, the tenancy is terminated immediately.

How much does the tenant owe?

The landlord provided rent records which prove the amount owing at the end of the tenancy. The amount ordered includes 21 days rent in lieu of notice as the property manager confirmed the property will not be relet in the next 4 days.
The landlord agrees that it is likely the tenant/WINZ paid a bond to the previous property management company. The bond is therefore deducted from the total amount owing.
As the landlord wants immediate possession and the tenancy agreement provided in support of the claim is not signed, the tenancy is treated as periodic and not fixed term.
Because [The applicant/s] has wholly succeeded with the claim I must reimburse the filing fee and approve the request for name suppression.
