Filing Fee Rent arrears

Order

An application for suppression has been made in this case, and the Tribunal orders suppression of the landlord’s name and identifying details and the tenancy address.
The tenancy of Vanessa Renata at [Tenancy address suppressed] is terminated, and possession is granted to [The landlord/s], at 11:59 pm on Sunday 21 September 2025.
Vanessa Renata must pay [The landlord/s] $5,623.00 immediately, calculated as shown in the table below:

Reasons

[The landlord’s representative], representing the landlord, attended the teleconference hearing. The phone number for the tenant, the last three digits being 342, was called twice, without any response. As the tenant was served, the hearing proceeded in her absence.
The landlord has applied for rent arrears in a current tenancy. Prior to the hearing, the landlord provided further evidence which included a request to add a claim to terminate the tenancy and to remove a bus belonging to the tenant from the property. The landlord said the tenant was copied with this further evidence and the landlord’s requests to terminate the tenancy. Further, the landlord said they have told the tenant several times that failing to pay rent arrears will lead to termination of the tenancy. The landlord also said that the tenant told her the bus that has been moved onto the property is for the tenant to move into when she gets “kicked out” of the property. As such, the landlord said the tenant is well aware of the prospect of the tenancy being terminated. Given this evidence, and given that a tenant can reasonably expect the prospect of a claim to terminate the tenancy once rent arrears have become significant, as is the case here, I was prepared to allow the landlord to amend their claim to add a claim to terminate the tenancy.
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.
The landlord provided rent records which prove the amount owing to 21 September 2025, the end of the tenancy, which is $5,595.00. Filing fee
Because [The landlord/s] has wholly succeeded with the claim I must reimburse the filing fee. Suppression
The landlord has requested name suppression. As they have been successful with the claim, the landlord is entitled to name suppression. Therefore, I order the landlord’s name and identifying details and the tenancy address are not to be published. See section 95A(1) Residential Tenancies Act 1986.
