Unit/Flat Flat 1, 63A Colwill Road, Massey, Auckland 0614 Tenancy Tribunal Case 5424249 — Rent arrears

Tenantcheck Insights

Reasons

Both parties attended the hearing.

[Tenant] attended on behalf of both tenants.

The landlord has applied for termination of the tenancy, rent arrears, payment of the bond and reimbursement of the filing fee. Termination s 56

The Tribunal may terminate a tenancy for breach where, due to the nature or extent of the breach, it would be inequitable to refuse to terminate. 1 1 See section 56(1) RTA.

Where the breach is capable of remedy the landlord must first serve a notice on the tenant requiring them to remedy the breach within at least 14 days and establish that the tenant has failed to do so. The tenant breached their obligations by failing to pay the rent as and when it is due and payable under the tenancy agreement. 2

The landlord served a notice to remedy a breach on the tenant on 7 January 2026. That notice required the tenants to pay the rent arrears within 14 days. The expiry date of the 14-day notice was 21 January 2026 and the tenants remedied the breach. They then fell into arrears again but they have been in credit since 10 February 2026.

The claim for termination under section 56 is dismissed because the breach was remedied. Termination s 55

The Tribunal shall make an order terminating the tenancy if satisfied that the rent was, at the date the application was filed, at least 21 days in arrears.

However, The Tribunal may refuse to make a termination order for rent arrears if, but only if, it is satisfied that the breach has been remedied (where it is capable of remedy), the landlord has been compensated for any loss arising from the breach, and it is unlikely that the tenant will commit any further breach in respect of rent arrears. 3

The application for termination was filed on 12 January 2026. Rent was at least 21 days in arrears on the date the application was filed

Rent was in credit as at the hearing date. The tenant has been in advance in rent for over a month.

The tenant provided documentary evidence that he now has a secure income, and I am satisfied that the tenants are able to meet the rent obligations moving forward.

Accordingly, the claim for termination is dismissed. Other matters

There are no rent arrears, therefore the claim for rent arrears and the bond is dismissed.

The landlord has been unsuccessful in the claim; therefore, I decline to order reimbursement of the filing fee. 2 See section 40 (1) (a) RTA 3 See section 55 (2) RTA

The landlord did not seek name suppression.

The tenant applied for name suppression and as they have been successful in defending the claim, name suppression for the tenants is ordered. 4
