[The tenant/s] owes and must immediately pay Pro Edge Property Management Limited As The Agent For Jignesh Kumar Patel & Hetal Nayankumar Patel the sum of $6,212.48, calculated as follows:

Reasons

The landlord attended the hearing and sought: a. Termination of the tenancy and immediate possession; b. Payment of rent arrears and water charges; and c. Reimbursement of the filing fee.
The tenant, who appears to have sublet the premises and does not reside there, did not attend the hearing. Her position on the claims is largely unknown. Should the Tribunal proceed in the tenant’s absence?
The hearing was conducted via video link on 9 October 2025. After waiting 15 minutes, the Tribunal attempted to contact the tenant on her last known mobile number – previously used by the landlord. There was no answer.
The tenant’s email address, also previously used successfully by the landlord, was used by the Tribunal to serve the notice of hearing and reminders.
The tenant did not contact the Tribunal to request an adjournment or alternative attendance method.
Therefore, being satisfied that the tenant was properly served, the Tribunal proceeded in the tenant’s absence under section 92(1) of the Residential Tenancies Act 1986,.

How much rent and water charges are owed?

The landlord provided rent records and water invoices, along with a verbal update, which support the amounts claimed and ordered.
The Tribunal notes: a. When trying to locate the tenant to discuss these arrears, the landlord discovered that the tenant was not residing at the property and was subletting it. b. Although there was limited communication from the tenant acknowledging arrears, it was vague. Payments have been irregular and no repayment plan was proposed or agreed.

Should the Tribunal grant immediate termination and possession?

As the above was unknown, termination was not included in the landlord’s written application; however, it was sought at the hearing.
Under section 85 of the Act, the Tribunal may act to ensure fair and expeditious resolution, considering the merits and justice of the case.
Given the tenant’s non-residence, ongoing arrears, and subletting, the Tribunal considers it appropriate to address termination sooner for both parties’ benefit.
At the time of the application, the rent arrears totalled $4,592.86 – approximately 47 days overdue.
As rent was more than 21 days in arrears when the application was filed, the Tribunal must terminate the tenancy under section 55(1)(a) of the Act.
Immediate possession as sought is also appropriate in these circumstances..

Should the filing fee be reimbursed?

The Tribunal orders reimbursement of the filing fee as the landlord wholly succeeded with its claim.
