Reasons

The landlord attended the hearing by the video link provided in the Notice of Hearing.
The tenant did not attend. She contacted the call centre on the morning of the hearing to advise that she would not attend as she was at work. No supporting evidence was provided, and no adjournment was granted. I attempted to call the tenant during the hearing, but the call went straight to voicemail (as if the phone was turned off).
I am satisfied that the tenant has had adequate notice of the hearing and had an opportunity to attend. It was appropriate to proceed with the hearing.
The landlord has applied for termination of the tenancy for breach of the tenant’s obligations, rent arrears 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. The termination date is 4 December, at 4pm. The tenant must provide vacant possession to the landlord at that time.
The landlord provided rent records which prove the amount owing at the end of the tenancy. The tenancy started on 10 October; the tenant has paid rent twice during that time. The amount owed for rent is $1,960.
As the landlord was the successful party, I have awarded reimbursement of the Tribunal application fee and granted its request for suppression of its details.
