Reasons
- This application was scheduled to be heard by video conference. The tenant did not connect to the Teams link provided to him and both calls I made to his phone number did not connect. The tenant has not advised the Tribunal of any alternative number on which to reach him and so the hearing proceeded in his absence.
- The landlord has applied for termination of the tenancy, rent arrears and reimbursement of the filing fee.
- Rent was at least 21 days in arrears on the date the application was filed and so the tenancy is terminated. See section 55(1)(a) Residential Tenancies Act 1986.
- The landlord provided rent records which prove that the tenant owes $26,600.00 as at today’s date. The last payment of rent was recorded as being $1,900.00 on 9 October 2025.
- I note that a previous Order dated 12 May 2025 for application 5154752 has already distributed the bond of $5,400.00 to the landlord.
- I am also ordering the tenant to reimburse the filing fee to the landlord because the landlord was wholly successful with this claim against him. C ter Haar 12 February 2026
