Order

The tenancy of [The tenant/s] and [The tenant/s] at 7 Arnhem Place, Pukekohe 2120 is terminated, and possession is granted to Slpm Limited As Agent For M & M Wager, immediately.
The Bond Centre is to pay the bond of $2,080.00 (BN-16987079) to Slpm Limited As Agent For M & M Wager immediately.
[The tenant/s] and [The tenant/s] must pay Slpm Limited As Agent For M & M Wager $2,236.14 immediately, calculated as shown in the table below:

Reasons

The landlord attended the hearing, by telephone.
Unfortunately, the Tribunal was unable to contact the tenant on the telephone number provided.
The landlord has applied for termination of the tenancy for abandonment, rent arrears, compensation and refund of the bond.
The tenancy was for a fixed term which began on 1/2/2022 and was extended to expire on 31/1/2026 at a rent of $720.00 per week.

Should the tenancy be terminated?

The Tribunal may terminate the tenancy where the premises have been abandoned and rent is in arrear at the hearing date. See section 61 Residential Tenancies Act 1986. A tenancy is abandoned where the tenant leaves the premises without reasonable excuse, not intending to return or to meet their obligations, and fails to notify the landlord.
Via an anonymous text message received on 28/11/2025 the landlord became aware that the tenant had abandoned the premises on 7/11/2025.
As the premises have been abandoned, and rent is in arrear, the tenancy is terminated immediately.

How much does the tenant owe?

The landlord provided rent records and water rates invoices which prove the amounts owing.
As the tenant did not return any keys and there was a broken window when the landlord inspected the premises, I have also awarded compensation for these, based on the evidence of the invoices, photographs and a NZ Police report.
As the landlord has wholly succeeded with the claim I must award the filing fee.
