Order

The tenancy of [The tenant/s] tenant/s] and [The tenant/s] tenant/s] at 47B Crestview Rise, Papakura, Papakura 2110 is terminated, and possession is granted to Cosmos Property Management Limited, at 11.59pm, Saturday 23 August 2025.
The Bond Centre is to pay the bond of $2,600.00 (6544943-001) to Cosmos Property Management Limited immediately.
[The tenant/s] tenant/s] and [The tenant/s] party] must pay Cosmos Property Management Limited $4,788.49 immediately, calculated as shown in the table below:

Reasons

The landlord attended the hearing. The tenants did not attend the hearing.
The landlord produced an email that he received from one of the tenants advising that they were unable to attend the hearing due to another commitment. No request for adjournment was submitted.
An attempt was made to join the tenants to the hearing by telephone, but the call went to voicemail. As the tenants had notice, the hearing proceeded in their absence.
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.

How much is owed for rent and water rates?

The tenancy is to terminate on 23 August 2025. The landlord provided rent records and water rates invoices which prove the amount owing at the end of the tenancy.
The tenant owes $6850.00 rent up to 23 August 2025. At the time of hearing the tenants are in credit for water rates so that amount is deducted from what they owe.
The landlord claimed for damage caused by the tenants during the tenancy. The damage was in relation to the carpet, the laminate flooring and wall, door jamb damage. The landlord obtained quotes for the damage and submitted an insurance claim. That claim was accepted, and the insurance company only seeks one amount of insurance excess for all the damage caused.
I accept that this damage occurred during the tenancy, so I award the landlord the insurance excess of $550.00 in relation to the damage.
Because Cosmos Property Management Limited has wholly succeeded with the claim I must reimburse the filing fee.
