Order

[The landlord/s] is granted possession of the premises at 81 Norwood Road, Bayswater, Auckland 0622 at 11:59 on Sunday 1 March 2026.

Reasons

The applicant attended the hearing.
The respondent did not attend. Just prior to the hearing the registry received an email purportedly from a friend of the respondent stating there was an emergency. No evidence was provided. At the conclusion of the hearing a further email was received for Health New Zealand stating that the respondent was in the emergency department.
In consideration of the above circumstances I have delayed the possession order a further week than I had initially intended however I do not consider it to be appropriate to adjourn the matter further for the following reasons: a) There is no defence of a possession order for failure to quit and there is confirmation in the respondents correspondence on file that they are aware of the notice and their non-compliance with it. b) It would not be equitable to adjourn this matter and to delay possession to the applicant.
The landlord has applied for possession of the premises following the termination of the tenancy.
The applicant tells me that they issued a 90 day notice to end the tenancy on the 5 th of October 2025 and the notice expired on the 4 th of January 2026, however the respondent has not quit.
Section 40(1)(e)(i) requires tenants to quit the premises upon termination of the tenancy and failure to do so is an unlawful act per section 40(3A) (a) of the act.
The applicant has provided emails which record frustration of the tenant in having received notice. They also provided an email from a prospective landlord showing that the respondent had been offered another property but turned it down.
I am satisfied that the tenant has failed to quit the premises upon termination of the tenancy in breach of section 40(e)(i).
The tenancy ended on the 4 th of January 2026 which is less than 90 days ago. The requirements of section 64(1) of the Residential Tenancies Act 1986 are satisfied.
The applicant tells me that they required to relocate to the property because they have a job in town. They tell me the cheapest accommodation option was to birth their boat at the Bayswater Marina at a cost of $55.00 per day and live in it and that is what they did. They are asking me to award that amount daily to the end of the tenancy. A party who suffers a loss as a result of an unlawful act is entitled to be compensated for their loss. $55.00 per day from the 5 th of January 2026 to the 8th of March 2026 is awarded.
The applicant has provided a rent summary showing the amount owing to 26/02/2026. I am satisfied this is an accurate record. I have applied an additional 10 days to reflect the amount owing to the date of termination.
Because [The landlord/s] has wholly succeeded with the claim I have reimbursed the filing fee.
