Order

An application for suppression has been made in this case, and the Tribunal orders suppression of the landlord name and identifying details.
The tenancy of Alena Loshchinskaia at Unit/Flat AY, 164 Harbour Village Drive, Gulf Harbour, Auckland 0930 is terminated, and possession is granted to [The landlord/s], as of Tuesday 7 October 2025.
The Bond Centre is to pay the bond of $1,600.00 ([Bond number suppressed]) to [The landlord/s] immediately.
Alena Loshchinskaia must pay [The landlord/s] $215.84 immediately, calculated as shown in the table below:
The tenant’s application is dismissed for want of evidence.

Reasons

Both parties attended the hearing via remote video conference. The guarantor also attended the hearing.
The landlord has applied for termination of the tenancy for abandonment, rent and power arrears, compensation for a replacement key fob and refund of the bond.

Should the tenancy be terminated?

The Tribunal may terminate the tenancy where the premises have been abandoned and rent is in arrear at the hearing date. See section 61 Residential Tenancies Act 1986. A tenancy is abandoned where the tenant leaves the premises and not intending to return or to meet their obligations.
On 5 September 2025 the landlord became aware (or ought to have been aware) that the tenant had abandoned the premises. The tenant emailed the landlord on this date confirming that she had vacated the apartment due to financial hardship.
Because the premises have been abandoned, and rent is in arrear, the tenancy is terminated.

How much is owed for rent and power arrears?

The tenancy ended on 7 October 2025. The tenant was subject to a fixed term agreement from 4 March 2025 to 1 March 2026. The tenant is therefore liable for the rent obligations up until such time as a replacement tenant is found.
The landlord provided rent and power records which prove the amount owing at the end of the tenancy. Having sighted the landlord’s evidence I am satisfied that the tenant is responsible for these debts.

Did the tenant comply with their obligations at the end of the tenancy?

At the end of the tenancy the tenant must leave the premises reasonably clean and tidy, remove all rubbish, return all keys and security devices, and leave all chattels provided for their benefit. See section 40(1)(e)(ii)-(v) Residential Tenancies Act 1986. The tenant is required to replace worn out smoke alarm batteries during the tenancy. See section 40(1)(ca) Residential Tenancies Act 1986. The tenant must also replace standard light bulbs.
The landlord claims that the tenant did not return a key fob. The tenant confirmed during the hearing that she accepts this claim.
The claim for a missing key fob is established.
On 28 February 2025 the guarantor provided a guarantee to the landlord, which undertook that the guarantor would be liable for any breach of the tenant's obligations in respect of payment of all monies relating to the tenancy.
The Tribunal has ordered the tenant to pay $215.84 to the landlord for the tenant’s breaches, which are all matters covered by the guarantee.
I am therefore satisfied that the guarantor is liable under the guarantee to pay the landlord the sum ordered. See section 77(2)(ka) Residential Tenancies Act 1986. Tenant application
The tenant lodged an application on 5 September 2025 seeking to have her bond refunded and to be released from the tenancy due to financial hardship. The tenant also raised issues with the condition of the apartment during the tenancy.
The tenant has not filed any evidence in support of her application and therefore the application is dismissed.
Because [The applicant/s] has wholly succeeded with the claim I must reimburse the filing fee.
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 – section 95A Residential Tenancies Act.
The landlord applied for a name suppression order. The landlord is entitled to name suppression as the application is successful – see section 95A RTA.
