Order

The tenancy of Aileesha Hohepa at 1 Alf Walker Place, Papakura, Papakura 2110 is terminated, and possession is granted to [The landlord/s], at 11.59 pm on Sunday 9 November 2025.
The Bond Centre is to pay the bond of $3,600.00 ([Bond number suppressed]) to [The landlord/s] immediately.
Aileesha Hohepa must pay [The landlord/s] $3,505.61 immediately, calculated as shown in the table below:

Reasons

The landlord attended the hearing. The tenant answered the call to her phone but could not take part in the hearing because she had appointments. She said she understood the hearing would go ahead and that it was to decide an application to end the tenancy.
The landlord has applied for termination of the tenancy, rent arrears and refund of the bond.
During the hearing the landlord sent me a copy of an email from the tenant dated 28 October 2025 where the tenant asked to end the fixed term. She also agreed to pay rent until new tenants are found and any costs associated with finding new tenants. I find the Tribunal can still end the tenancy despite this email because of the amount of money owed, and because the tenant knew the hearing was to consider ending the tenancy.
During the hearing the landlord was given the choice of the tenancy ending on Sunday OR the tenancy continuing until new tenants are found. The landlord chose to end the fixed term tenancy on Sunday.
Rent was at least 21 days in arrears on the date the application was filed. The tenancy is terminated. See section 55(1)(a) Residential Tenancies Act 1986. (RTA)
The landlord provided rent records and water rates records which prove the amount owing at the end of the tenancy.
Because the landlord has wholly succeeded with the claim I must reimburse the filing fee.
The landlord has made an application for suppression. This is allowed because the landlord is the most successful party. The tenant’s name will be published because there is public interest when tenants owe money at the end of a tenancy. See section 95A RTA.
