Reasons

How much is owed for rent?
- The tenancy ended on 21 September 2025. The landlord provided rent records which prove the amount owing at the end of the tenancy.
- The tenant has applied for a reduction of the fixed term tenancy due to financial hardship in paying the rent. The tenant vacated shortly before filing her application on 16 August 2025.
- The landlord acceded to the tenant’s request to reduce the term subject to new tenants being found. Readvertising for new tenants had commenced immediately for the premises.
- New tenants were found, and the premises were relet on 21 September 2025.
- The landlord is entitled to rent until that date.
Did the tenant comply with their obligations at the end of the tenancy?
- At the end of the tenancy the tenant must leave the premises reasonably clean and tidy, remove all rubbish, return all keys and security devices, and leave all chattels provided for their benefit. See section 40(1)(e)(ii)-(v) Residential Tenancies Act 1986.
- The tenant did not leave the premises reasonably clean and tidy, and the lawns needed to be mowed.
- The amounts ordered are proved.
- Because Mog Limited T/A Angel Property Managers As Agent For South Auckland Housing Trust Limited has wholly succeeded with the claim I must reimburse the filing fee.
