An application for suppression has been made in this case, and the Tribunal orders suppression of the landlord’s name and identifying details.

The tenancy of Yao Di and Jjeon OCKTHO at 20 Gillard Place, Eastern Beach, Auckland 2012 is terminated, and possession is granted to [The landlord/s], at

59pm on Friday 14 November 2025.

Yao Di and Jjeon OCKTHO must pay [The landlord/s] $6,106.57 immediately, calculated as shown in the table below:

Reasons

Only the landlord attended the hearing. I called the tenant but they did not answer their telephones. I am satisfied they have been served and so the hearing proceeded in their absence.

The landlord has applied for termination of the tenancy for breach of the tenant’s obligations, rent arrears and reimbursement of the filing fee.

Should the tenancy be terminated and how much does the tenant owe?

The landlord applied to terminate the tenancy for breach of the tenants’ obligations because the tenants have failed to remedy a 14 day notice in relation to rent arrears (section 56, Residential Tenancies Act 1986 (RTA)).

The rent arrears have not been cleared since that notice and have continued to grow.

At the hearing the landlord noticed for the first time that new software meant that the first week of this tenancy (which the landlord says the tenant did not pay for) had not in fact been included in the rent summary and the landlord queried whether this could be included now to increase the arrears claim.

I explained that I saw two issues with this today: a) the tenant had not had notice of this increased claim and b) if the landlord added an additional week of arrears to the sum it now said the tenant was liable for it would make the amount that the landlord had included in the 14 day notice issued to the tenant on 27 August 2025 incorrect (because the sum would not accurately reflect the arrears - the arrears would be higher).

Where an application is made by a landlord under s 56 RTA and the Tribunal is satisfied that at the time of determining the matter the landlord could have made an application under s 55 (because, for example, rent is 21 days or more in arrear at the date of the hearing), the Tribunal must determine the matter as if the application had been made under s 55 (see s 56(2)). However, before determining the matter under s 55, I consider that the Tribunal should satisfy itself that the requirements in s 56 have been satisfied, in particular, that the landlord has issued a valid 14-day notice (where the breach is capable of remedy). Therefore, given the impact that pursuing the additional week’s rent would have on the 14 day notice the landlord decided that no claim would be pursued in relation to the arrears for the first week of the tenancy.

The landlord provided rent records which prove the amount owing at the end of the tenancy. Rent is at least 21 days in arrears at the hearing date (see s 56(2) and section 55 RTA).

The tenancy is terminated.

The landlord seeks termination on Friday 14 November 2025 as ordered and I consider this to be reasonable consider the amount of arrears. Suppression and filing fee

The landlord has wholly succeeded with the claim and so I must reimburse the filing fee.

The landlord seeks suppression of its identifying details. The Tribunal must, on the application of a party that has wholly or substantially succeeded in proceedings, order that the party’s name or identifying particulars not be published, unless the Tribunal considers that publication is in the public interest or is justified because of the party’s conduct or any other circumstances of the case (s 95A RTA).

The landlord has been successful so I award suppression of the landlord’s identifying details.
