Order

An application for suppression has been made in this case, and the Tribunal orders suppression of the tenant’s name and identifying details.
[The tenant/s] must pay TBT Property Management Limited $944.74 immediately, calculated as shown in the table below:

Reasons

Both parties attended the hearing, which was conducted by teleconference.
The landlord has applied for termination of the tenancy for breach of the tenant’s obligations and rent arrears. The application has been amended to include water charges.

Should the tenancy be terminated?

The Tribunal may terminate a tenancy for breach where, due to the nature or extent of the breach, it would be inequitable to refuse to terminate. See section 56(1) of the Residential Tenancies Act 1986 (the RTA). Where the breach is capable of remedy, the landlord must first serve a notice on the tenant requiring them to remedy the breach within at least 14 days and establish that the tenant has failed to do so.
In this case the landlord issued one 14 day notice on 18 August 2025, and the tenant did not remedy the breach within the required period. Noting the evidence provided is limited to one 14-day notice that was not remedied, the Tribunal is unable to conclude that termination of the tenancy is warranted. Therefore, while the landlord seeks a conditional termination order, as the requirements for termination are not satisfied, the Tribunal declines to issue such an order in this case. Rent arrears and water charges
The landlord’s rent records prove the amount owing up to the date of the hearing. The relevant invoices support the water charges being sought. These amounts are awarded above. Filing fee and name suppression
The tenant is to pay the landlord’s filing fee, since the landlord has been successful with the application.
The tenant seeks name suppression, which is granted. In granting suppression for the tenant, the Tribunal has had regard to the interests of the parties, the public interest, and notes the landlord consents to suppression for the tenant.
The landlord does not request name suppression.
