The tenancy of [The tenant] at [Tenancy address suppressed] is terminated, and possession is granted to Jang Ho Kim, at 12:00 noon on Friday 6 March 2026.

[The tenant] must pay Jang Ho Kim $13,424.00 immediately, calculated as shown in the table below:

The Bond Centre is to pay the bond of $820.00 ([Bond number suppressed]) to Jang Ho Kim immediately.

Reasons

Both parties attended the hearing today.

The landlord has applied for termination of the tenancy, rent arrears, refund of the bond and reimbursement of the application fee.

Should the tenancy be terminated?

The Tribunal shall terminate a tenancy where: a. on 3 separate occasions within a 90-day period the rent has been at least 5 working days in arrears; and b. on each occasion the landlord gave the tenant written notice advising the tenant of the arrears, the dates for which rent was overdue, the amount or amounts of overdue rent, and the tenant’s right to make an application to the Tribunal challenging the notice; and c. each notice stated how many other notices (if any) the landlord had given the tenant under this paragraph in relation to the same tenancy and 90-day period; and d. the landlord’s application to the Tribunal was made within 28 days after the landlord gave the third notice. See section 55(1)(aa) Residential Tenancies Act 1986; or e. where rent was at least 21 days in arrears on the date the application was filed.

In this case I find: a. The landlord has served one formal 21-day notice on the tenant on 26 October 2025 and follow up reminders of continued rent arrears on 7 November 2025, 27 November 2025, 8 December 2025 and 20 January 2026; b. In this 90-day period, the rent has been at least 5 working days in arrears. On each occasion formal notice or follow up reminder have been sent; c. This formal notice and the follow up reminders issued to the tenant by the landlord advises the tenant of the arrears, the dates for which rent was overdue, the amount or amounts of overdue rent. The formal notice and reminders do not inform the tenant of his right to make an application to the Tribunal challenging the notice; d. There is only one formal 21-day notice and the follow up reminders do not state how many other notices (if any) the landlord had given the tenant in relation to the same tenancy and 90-day period; and e. The landlord’s application to the Tribunal was not made within 28 days after the landlord gave the tenant a third notice. It was made within 28 days after the third reminder email was sent to the tenant. See section 55(1)(aa) Residential Tenancies Act 1986; or

The grounds have not been established for termination of the tenancy under s55(1)(aa) of the RTA.

However, the rent records prove that rent was at least 21 days in arrears on the date the application was filed, and that the rent is still in significant rent arrears as at today’s date. Therefore, tenancy is terminated, pursuant to section 55(1)(a) Residential Tenancies Act 1986.

Rent records have been provided which prove the amount owing at the end of the tenancy, as ordered above. Reimbursement of filing fees

Because Jang Ho Kim has wholly succeeded with the claim, I must reimburse the filing fee. Name suppression

The tenant applies for non-publication of his name and identifying details.

The Tribunal must, on the application of a party that has wholly or substantially succeeded in proceedings, order that the party’s name or identifying particulars not be published, unless the Tribunal considers that publication is in the public interest or is justified because of the party’s conduct or any other circumstances of the case.

The landlord has substantially succeeded in its proceedings but is not seeking name suppression. He agrees to the tenant being granted name suppression.

I use the Tribunal’s discretion to grant the tenant name suppression as the detriment to him of publishing his name and contact details outweigh any public interest in this matter and the tenant’s conduct or any other circumstances of the case do not no require me to refuse to grant name suppression to the tenant.

Non-publication is ordered.
