Reasons

Both parties attended the hearing. Ms Misa attended on behalf of both tenants.

The landlord has applied for a. termination of the tenancy, b. rent arrears, c. water rates, d. payment of the bond and e. reimbursement of the filing fee. Termination

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

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 18 December 2025. The tenant did not remedy the breach. Where a landlord applies to terminate for breach, and rent is at least 21 days in arrears on the hearing date, the Tribunal must terminate the tenancy. 3

Rent is at least 21 days in arrears at the hearing date. The tenancy is terminated

How much is owed for rent?

The tenant must pay the rent as and when it is due and payable under the tenancy agreement. 4 The landlord provided rent records which prove the amount owing as at the hearing date and I have made an order for rent arrears and rent to the termination date.

How much is owed for water rates?

The tenant is responsible for water consumption charges. 5 The landlord provided water rates invoices and a statement to prove the amounts owing which were undisputed. 1 See section 56(1) RTA. 2 See section 40 (1) (a) RTA 3 See sections 55 and 56(2) RTA 4 See section 40 (1)(a) of the RTA. 5 See section 39 RTA. Bond

The bond is to be paid to the landlord immediately to offset the amounts ordered Filing fee

Because the landlord has wholly succeeded with the claim, I must reimburse the filing fee. Suppression

The Tribunal must, on the application of a party that has wholly or substantially succeeded in proceedings, order that the party’s name or identifying particulars not be published, unless the Tribunal considers that publication is in the public interest or is justified because of the party’s conduct or any other circumstances of the case. 6

The Tribunal may, on the application of any party to proceedings or on its own initiative, having regard to the interests of the parties and to the public interest, order that all or part of the evidence given or the name or any identifying particulars of any witness or party not be published and may attach any conditions to that order the Tribunal considers appropriate. 7

The landlord did not apply for name suppression.

The tenant applied for name suppression, however given the level of rent arrears, I consider the public interest outweighs the tenant’s interest in name suppression. Name suppression for the tenant is declined.
