Reasons

The landlord attended the video hearing.

The tenant did not attend the hearing by Teams video link. Telephone calls were made to the tenant on the number provided at the allocated hearing time. All calls went to voicemail. The Tribunal may hear matters in the absence of a party where satisfied that notice of the hearing has been provided. I am satisfied that notice of the hearing was provided to the tenant

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

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) Residential Tenancies Act 1986.

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.

The tenant has breached their obligations by failing to pay rent on time and in full.

The landlord served a 14-day notice on the tenant on 9 October 2025 requiring the tenant to pay rent arrears of $1,577.14 within 14 days and to pay any further rent that may have fallen due during that 14 day period. The tenant did not remedy the breach within the required period. No payments were made.

The landlord provided rent and water rates records which show at the date of this hearing that the tenant owes $1,337.14 for rent and $156.95 for water rates (to the period ending 3 October 2025).

It would be inequitable to refuse to terminate the tenancy because the rent remains substantially in arrears. But for a payment of $3,000.00 by the tenant the day before the hearing, the arrears would have been substantially worse. The tenant’s rent summary shows that during this tenancy, the rent has been in arrears more often than not. I can not be satisfied that the tenant will comply by his obligation to pay rent on time and in full in the future. The tenancy is terminated.

As [The applicant/s] has wholly succeeded with the claim, I must reimburse the filing fee.

The landlord applied for name suppression. The landlord has been wholly successful in this hearing. Suppression of the landlord’s name and details is ordered.
