Reasons

Mr Singh attended the hearing for the landlord. The tenants were phoned on the numbers provided but there was no response to the calls to the numbers ending in 004 and 862 and the call to the number ending in 717 went to voicemail. Mr [The tenant/s] answered the number provided for him, but he said that he did not want to participate in the hearing. He said that he vacated the premises some time ago.
The tenants were more than 21 days in arrears with rent on the date of the application and are more than 21 days in arrears as at the date of the hearing. This means that the landlord is entitled to an order terminating the tenancy: s 55(1) of the Residential Tenancies Act 1986. However, Mr Singh said that he is prepared to give the opportunity to pay off the rent arrears to avoid immediate termination.
The conditional termination order will lapse if it is fully complied with. If the tenants breach the order, the possession order may be enforced for 90 days from the first breach: section 64(4)(b) Residential Tenancies Act 1986.
The amount of rent and the amount of water rates owing has been established by the production of a rent record and water invoices.
The landlord has been successful in its claims and is therefore entitled to payment of the Tribunal application fee.
