Order

The tenancy of [The tenant/s] and [The tenant/s] at Room 5, 141 Kolmar Road, Papatoetoe, Auckland 2025 is terminated, and possession is granted to [The party], at 11.59 am on Friday 5 December 2025.
The Bond Centre is to pay the bond of $1,140.00 to [The party] immediately.
[The tenant/s] and [The tenant/s] must pay [The party] $2,606.04 immediately, calculated as shown in the table below:

Reasons

The landlord attended the remote hearing.
The tenants did not attend the hearing. Telephone calls were made to the tenants on the number provided at the allocated hearing time. The calls went to voicemail. The Tribunal may hear matters in the absence of a party where satisfied that notice of the hearing has been given. I am satisfied that notice of the hearing was given to the tenants.
The landlord has applied for termination of the tenancy for breach of the tenant’s obligations, rent arrears, exemplary damages, reimbursement of the filing fee and refund of the bond.

Should the tenancy be terminated?

Where a landlord applies to terminate for breach, and rent is at least 21 days in arrears on the hearing date, the Tribunal must terminate the tenancy. See sections 55 and 56(2) Residential Tenancies Act 1986.
Rent is at least 21 days in arrears at the hearing date. The tenancy is terminated.

How much does the tenant owe?

The landlord provided rent records and water rates records which prove the amount owing for rent at the end of the tenancy will be $3,502.85 and for water rates to 30 November 2025 is $215.19.
The landlord applied for exemplary damages explaining that this was to cover his costs in having to deal with the tenants and the Tribunal. The Residential Tenancies Act 1986 sets out specific actions which are referred to as “unlawful acts”. The Tribunal may only consider orders for exemplary damages where the Residential Tenancies Act 1986 states that the action complained of amounts to an unlawful act. The actions complained of by the landlord do not fall within the definition of an unlawful act and as a result exemplary damages can not be ordered by the Tribunal.
As [The party] has substantially succeeded with the claim I have ordered the tenants to reimburse the filing fee.
