Reasons

provided in writing on 26 November 2025:

The landlord applied for termination of the tenancy, rent arrears, reimbursement of the filing fee, and name suppression. Should the hearing proceed in the tenant’s absence?

The landlord attended the telephone hearing on 19 November The tenant failed to answer the Tribunal’s first call, after which a voicemail was left advising that the hearing may proceed without her. The tenant also did not answer the second call.

The Court file confirms that the notice of hearing was properly served using the tenant’s only known contact information.

The landlord verified the tenant’s only known email and phone number, and reported that the tenant messaged the property manager the previous evening acknowledging rent arrears and referring to the correct hearing date while promising to arrange repayment.

As the tenant was properly notified and aware of the hearing, the Tribunal proceeds in her absence under section 92(1) of the Residential Tenancies Act 1986.

Should the tenancy be terminated?

The landlord applied for termination of the tenancy for breach of the tenant’s obligations.

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 as due.

The landlord served a 14-day notice on the tenant on 17 September 2025 and the tenant did not remedy the breach within the required period.

It would be inequitable to refuse to terminate the tenancy because the tenant cannot appear to meet her rent obligations: a. She has never been able to pay the bond; b. She has been in rental arrears from the beginning of the tenancy, which continue to accrue; c. She has given various unverified reasons for arrears; however, the arrears continue to rise with no specific re-payment plan or follow up of promises and various excuses given; and d. The landlord was already giving the tenant an opportunity given her credit rating before the tenancy and various excuses for non-payment since not reflecting the standard credit checks that were undertaken

The tenancy is terminated. Possession is granted immediately taking into account the tenant is a single mother who will need to move with her two children but also taking into account the two-day stand down period for enforcement and the need for both parties to avoid having further rent owing.

How much does the tenant owe?

The landlord provided rent records which prove the amount owing at the end of the tenancy.

Given the tenant’s apparent message, this does not appear to be disputed and is ordered accordingly. Should the Tribunal reimburse the landlord’s filing fee?

The landlord seeks and as the wholly successful party is entitled to reimbursement of the filing fee it paid for its application under section 102(4) of the Residential Tenancies Act 1986 Should the Tribunal suppress the landlord’s details?

The landlord seeks and is entitled as the successful party to suppression of its name under section 102(4) of the Residential Tenancies Act 1986.
