Reasons

The hearing proceeded by way of telephone conference. Ms Sutherland, Solicitor, appeared for the landlord. Unsuccessful attempts were made to join the tenant to the hearing. The Tribunal was satisfied that the tenant was properly served with the notice of hearing and the case proceeded in their absence.

The tenancy commenced on 9 January 2025.

On 15 July 2025 the landlord filed an application with the Tribunal seeking termination of the tenancy for rent arrears, rent arrears, refund of the bond and reimbursement of the filing fee.

The onus of proving these claims rests with the landlord. The standard required is on the balance of probabilities. The landlord must establish more likely than not that the tenant has breached the terms of the agreement or provisions of the Residential Tenancies Act 1986 (the “Act”). Termination and possession

Under section 55(1) of the Act, the Tribunal must, subject to subsection 55(2) terminate the tenancy, if at the time the application was filed, the rent was at least 21 days in arrears.

Under section 56(1) of the Act, the Tribunal may terminate a tenancy if the tenant has failed to remedy a 14-day breach notice for rent arrears, and it would be inequitable to refuse termination.

Under section 56(2) of the Act, if an application is made under section 56(1) and, at the time of the hearing the rent was at least 21 days in arrears, the Tribunal shall determine the application as if it had been made under section 55(1) and (2) of the Act. Decision

The landlord issued a 14-day breach notice for rent arrears on 29 June 2025. The breach notice advised the tenant they were $2,530.00 in rent arrears and required the tenant to remedy the breach by 15 July 2025. The breach notice was not remedied.

The application was filed on 15 July 2025. At the date of filing the tenant owed $3,564.29 in rent arrears. The rent was at least 21 days in arrears on the date the application was filed. The tenancy is terminated.

The landlord seeks prompt possession of the property as rent has not been paid since 7 May 2025.

The landlord is granted possession of the property at midnight on Sunday 31 August 2025. This will allow the tenant a short period of time to leave the property without considerably adding to the rent arrears owed.

How much does the tenant owe?

The landlord has applied for rent arrears and has provided rent records which prove the amount owing. At the date of hearing the tenant owes $5171.43 in rent arrears. The amount claimed is ordered. Costs

Because Saunders Robinson Brown Limited as The Agent for Los Angeles Trust (Trustees: Sarah Rodie, [The tenant/s] landlord/s], [The tenant/s] landlord/s] and [The tenant/s] landlord/s] has wholly succeeded with the claim I must reimburse the filing fee. Name Suppression

Section 95A of Act provides that on the application of a party that has been wholly or substantially successful in proceedings, the Tribunal must order that the name or identifying particulars not be published, unless the Tribunal considers that it is in the public interest to publish the names of the parties, or is justified because of the parties’ conduct, or any other circumstances of the case.

The landlord did not seek name suppression.
