Reasons

The hearing proceeded by way of video conference. [Property Manager], Property Manager, was joined to the hearing by telephone. The tenant did not appear, and two unsuccessful attempts were made to join them to the hearing by telephone. The Tribunal was satisfied the tenant was properly served with the notice of hearing and the case proceeded in their absence.

The tenancy commenced on 24 September 2024 with the fixed term due to expire on 23 September 2025.

On 5 August 2025 the landlord filed an application seeking termination of the tenancy for breach of the tenant’s obligations, rent arrears and refund of the bond.

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 the provisions of the Residential Tenancies Act 1986 (the “Act”).

Should the tenancy be terminated?

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. Reasons

The landlord provided up to date rent records which prove the amount owed.

The landlord issued a 14-day breach notice on 21 July 2025 advising the tenant they were $455.00 in rent arrears. The tenant was required to remedy the breach notice by 4 August 2025. The notice was not remedied.

The application was filed on 5 August 2025. At that time the rent arrears totalled $1430.00. Rent was more than 21 days in arrears. The tenancy is terminated. Possession is granted to the landlord at midnight on Monday 22 September 2025.

At the date of hearing the tenant’s arrears total $4355.00. The amount claimed is ordered. Costs

Because [The applicant/s] has wholly succeeded with the claim I must reimburse the filing fee. Name Suppression

Section 95A of the 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 has been wholly successful and is granted name suppression.
