The tenancy of Braema Tatireta at Unit/Flat 1, 72 Weymouth Road, Manurewa, Auckland 2102 is terminated, and possession is granted to [The landlord/s], at midnight on Monday 20 October 2025.

The Bond Centre is to pay the bond of $3,400.00 ([Bond number suppressed]) to [The landlord/s] immediately.

Braema Tatireta must pay [The landlord/s] $2,478.62 immediately, calculated as shown in the table below:

Reasons

The hearing proceeded by way of video conference. [Property Manager], Property Manager, appeared for the landlord. The tenant appeared by telephone.

The tenancy commenced on 30 November 2022 and was periodic.

On 15 August 2025 the landlord filed an application with the Tribunal seeking termination of the tenancy, rent arrears, outstanding water rates, 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”). 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.

At the date of filing the tenant’s rent arrears totalled $3024.29. Rent was at least 21 days in arrears. The tenancy is terminated.

The landlord seeks immediate possession of the property citing financial difficulties caused by the tenant’s failure to pay rent and the water rates.

The tenant lives at the property with her seven children. She asked the Tribunal to allow them to remain in the property until Monday 20 October 2025 as she has arranged temporary accommodation for her family from that date.

Having heard from the parties the Tribunal considers that it is appropriate to grant the landlord possession of the property from midnight on Monday 20 October 2025. This will give the tenant time to vacate the premises, remove all of her possession, and clean the property to a reasonably clean and tidy standard without significantly increasing the rent debt.

How much is owing at the end of the tenancy?

The landlord provided up to date rent records which prove the amount owing at the date of hearing totalled $3434.29. The tenant took no issue with the rent records. The amount claimed is ordered.

The landlord seeks water rates totalling $2,052.05 from 7 April 2024 to 10 October 2025 and produced a copy of a water rates invoice in the amount claimed.

The landlord confirmed the amount claimed was for use only and did not include fixed charges. In addition, the landlord confirmed that the water rates invoices and water bills from Water Care had been provided to the tenant and requests for payment had been ongoing.

The tenant took no issue with the water rates charges and said that she had only been able to make nominal payments towards the water rates debt after falling into rent arrears.

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.
