Reasons

This Tenancy started on 1 October 2025 and, as at the date of this decision, remains ongoing.

The Landlord has applied to terminate the tenancy and obtain possession of the premises due to unpaid rent. It also seeks orders requiring the Tenant to pay the rent arrears and reimburse the $28 Tenancy Tribunal filing fee.

The Landlord attended the hearing. The Tenant did not. A notice of hearing was sent to the Tenant’s email address for service. I also tried to call her on the phone number included in the tenancy agreement. She did not answer. The hearing proceeded without her The rent arrears

The rent is $580 per week. The Landlord has provided a rent summary showing rent payments throughout the tenancy. I accept that rent summary as an accurate record of the rent payments during the tenancy.

The rent summary shows that the Tenant has paid a total of six weeks’ rent. She has missed 15 rent payments, so current rent arrears are $8,700.

The Tenant is obliged to pay rent as it falls due. She has not. I therefore order that the Tenant must pay $8,700 rent arrears to the Landlord.

This order replaces a previous order made by the Tribunal in January 2026, 1 in which the Tenant was ordered to pay rent arrears of $5,137.14. The rent arrears component of that decision is now unenforceable, as that order has now been replaced by this decision. The Landlord may still seek to recover the filing fee ordered in that case under that order. Termination of tenancy and possession

Because the rent is in arrears by at least 21 days, I must make an order terminating the tenancy. 2 I see no basis for making this order conditional. 3 There is no evidence before me that the Tenant intends to voluntarily pay the rent arrears, or that a similar breach will not occur in the future. In that regard, I note the Tenant’s failure to pay the amounts ordered by the Tribunal in January 2026.

I order that the tenancy is terminated under section 55(1)(a) of the Residential Tenancies Act 1986. Possession is granted to the Landlord. 4 Filing fee and name suppression

The Landlord has been wholly successful in its claim, so it is entitled to recover the filing fee. It is also entitled to have its name and all identifying details 1 [2026] NZTT 5400108 2 Residential Tenancies Act 1986, section 55(1)(a). 3 Under section 55(1A) of the Residential Tenancies Act 1986, I can make a termination order conditional, but only if I am satisfied that the tenant will pay the rent within a specified time and that it is unlikely that the tenant will fail to pay the rent in the future. 4 Residential Tenancies Act 1986, section 64(3)- a termination order under section 55 has the effect of a possession order granting possession of the premises to the landlord. suppressed. I make no suppression orders for the Tenant, as I have no grounds to do so. Bond

The Bond Centre is to pay the bond of $2,320 to the Landlord.
