Rent arrears

Order

The tenancy of [The tenant/s] and [The tenant/s] at Unit/Flat 4, 3 Saofaga Lane, Mount Roskill, Auckland 1041 is terminated, and possession is granted to Kāinga Ora–Homes and Communities, at 11.59pm on Monday 3 November 2025.
[The tenant/s] and [The tenant/s] must pay Kāinga Ora–Homes and Communities $1,599.00 immediately, calculated as shown in the table below:

Reasons

This hearing was held by telephone conference. Only the landlord attended the hearing. Multiple attempts were made to call the tenants, and on each occasion, the call either did not connect or went to voicemail. As the tenants have been notified, the hearing proceeded.
The landlord has applied for termination of the tenancy and rent arrears. There is no bond.
At the hearing, the landlord explained the steps taken to address the rent arrears with the tenants, noting that it had exhausted all reasonable efforts to make contact with them. The tenants remained unresponsive and disengaged. The landlord hopes they will get in touch, and was prepared to request a conditional termination order. In the meantime, the landlord has had to seek termination of the tenancy, since the tenants were not present at the hearing.

Should the tenancy be terminated?

I am satisfied that the landlord has established the grounds for termination of the tenancy. Rent was at least 21 days in arrears on the date the application was filed. At the date of the hearing, rent was well over 21 days in arrears. The landlord provided rent records and oral evidence in support.
Accordingly, the tenancy is terminated under section 55(1)(a) of the Residential Tenancies Act 1986.
The landlord’s rent records prove the amount owing at the end of the tenancy. The landlord agrees to allow the tenants to remain in possession until 3 November 2025, so the tenancy will end on this date. The tenants will be liable for rent up to this date, as noted in the table above. Filing fee
While successful, the landlord does not seek the filing fee.
