Filing Fee Rent arrears

Order

An application for suppression has been made in this case, and the Tribunal orders suppression of the landlord’s name and identifying details.
The tenancy of Valerie Reon Ratahi at 20 Gloucester Road, Manurewa, Auckland 2102 is terminated, and possession is granted to [The landlord/s], immediately.
Valerie Reon Ratahi must pay [The landlord/s] $1,914.35 immediately, as calculated below:

Reasons

The landlord’s representative attended the hearing. The tenant did not attend.
The landlord has applied for termination of the tenancy for abandonment, rent arrears, refund of the bond, and the filing fee.

Should the tenancy be terminated?

The Tribunal may terminate the tenancy where the premises have been abandoned and rent is in arrear at the hearing date 1 . A tenancy is abandoned where the tenant leaves the premises without reasonable excuse, not intending to return or to meet their obligations, and fails to notify the landlord.
On 22 January 2026 the landlord became aware that the tenant had abandoned the premises. The premises were empty, a door was open, and a window had been smashed. The tenant would not answer the landlord’s calls, and the rent was in arrears.
Because the premises have been abandoned, and rent is in arrears, the tenancy is terminated immediately.

How much does the tenant owe?

The landlord provided rent records which prove the amount of rent owing as of 5 March 2026. As the tenancy was a fixed term tenancy the tenant remains liable for rent until a new tenancy starts or until the end of the fixed term, whichever occurs first.
The landlord sought payment of the rent arrears from the bond. The landlord has not provided a bond number, and the Bond Centre’s records do not show a bond for this tenancy.
I cannot make a bond order now. If the landlord can obtain a bond number for a bond for this tenancy in the landlord’s name, they can notify the registry, and I will make a partial bond order.
I have reimbursed the landlord the filing fee paid on the application. 1 See section 61 Residential Tenancies Act 1986 (RTA) Name suppression
The landlord sought, and is entitled to, a name suppression order as the application is successful 2 .
