Order

The tenancy of [The tenant/s] at 67 Apirana Avenue, Glen Innes, Auckland 1072 is terminated, and possession is granted to Gramax Property Management Limited as Agent for Helio Investment and Holdings Limited, at 11.59pm on Sunday 23 November 2025.
The Bond Centre is to pay the bond of $3,000.00 (BN-00117252) to Gramax Property Management Limited as Agent for Helio Investment and Holdings Limited immediately.
[The tenant/s] must pay Gramax Property Management Limited as Agent for Helio Investment and Holdings Limited $7,632.48 immediately, calculated as shown in the table below.
The landlord may enforce this order immediately.

Reasons

Both parties attended the hearing which was conducted by video and telephone.
The tenant attended until the end of the discussion of the landlord’s claim for termination and possession and the Tribunal had informed the parties of the order that would be made in that respect. The tenant did not want to participate in the discussion of the landlord’s other claims.
The landlord has applied for termination of the tenancy, rent arrears, payment of the bond and compensation as discussed below. Termination, Possession and Rent Arrears
Rent was at least 21 days in arrears on the date the application was filed. The tenancy is therefore terminated under s55(1)(a) of the Residential Tenancies Act 1986.
The landlord provided rent records to prove the amount owing at the end of the tenancy to today’s date as ordered. Other Claims
The tenant reported a blocked toilet. The landlord called out their usual drainage contractor who was required to visit the premises four times to unblock the drain which was clogged with wet wipes that had been put down the toilet during the tenancy. The contractor’s invoice was for $1,035.
The landlord then had to employ another contractor with more powerful equipment to complete the unlocking and remove the waste that was removed. Their invoice was for $963.13.
A month later the tenant again reported a blocked toilet. The second contractor again attended and discovered that the drain was again blocked by wet wipes. The drain was again cleared, and the waste removed. The invoice for that was $943.
The tenant in responsible for these costs because she or others living in the premises misused the toilet by putting wet wipes down it. I have therefore awarded the cost against the tenant in full.
The landlord produced water company invoices to prove the claim for water rates.
The tenant agreed to pay for a variation of the tenancy agreement by adding her son as a tenant. The landlord prepared the variation, but the son did not did the sign the agreement. The tenant remains liable for the agreed cost and so I have awarded it.
The landlord has succeeded and so I have awarded the filing fee.
The bond will be paid to the landlord and the tenant must pay the remaining liability.
