Order
- The tenancy of Viliami Patolo at 410 Mount Albert Road, Mount Roskill, Auckland 1041 is terminated, and possession is granted to Hasina Bano Mullahji, at 11:59 pm on Sunday 1 February 2026.
- Viliami Patolo must pay Hasina Bano Mullahji $26,628.00 immediately, calculated as shown in the table below:
Reasons
- Both parties attended the hearing via video conference. The tenant’s wife attended on the tenant’s behalf via telephone.
- The landlord has applied for termination of the tenancy, and rent arrears.
- 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.
- The tenancy of Viliami Patolo at 410 Mount Albert Road, Mount Roskill, Auckland 1041 is terminated, and possession is granted to Hasina Bano Mullahji, at 11:59 pm on Sunday 1 February 2026.
- The landlord provided rent records which prove the amount owing at the end of the tenancy.
- I order the tenant to pay the landlord $26,600.00 for rent arrears to 1 February 2026.
- The landlord had also claimed for water rates arrears. However, the landlord was not in a position to finalise the claim. It is anticipated that the landlord will lodge another application with the Tribunal for final water arrears once the landlord has possession of the premises.
- If the tenant does not leave the premises reasonably clean and tidy and do not rubbish all rubbish at the end of the tenancy, the landlord will be able to claim cleaning and rubbish removal costs through another application with the Tribunal.
- Because the landlord has wholly succeeded with the claim, the tenant must reimburse the filing fee.
