Order

The Tribunal orders suppression of the landlord’s name and identifying details.
The tenancy of Pearl Wiki Te Amo at [Tenancy address suppressed] is terminated, and possession is granted to [The landlord/s], at 11:59pm on Sunday 12 April 2026.
The Bond Centre is to pay the bond of $700.00 ([Bond number suppressed]) to [The landlord/s] immediately.
Pearl Wiki Te Amo must pay [The landlord/s] $418.73 immediately, calculated as shown below:

Reasons

The landlord attended the hearing which was scheduled by videoconference. The tenant did not attend. Two calls were made to the number given in the Notice of Hearing, which was properly served. Neither was answered.
The landlord has applied for termination of the tenancy for breach of the tenant’s obligations.

Should the tenancy be terminated?

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. See section 56(1) Residential Tenancies Act 1986.
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 has breached their obligations by: a. failing to pay the rent when due; and b. having a pet at the premises contrary to the terms of the agreement.
The landlord served 14-day notices on the tenant for failure to pay rent when due, on 30 January 2026 and 17 February 2026. The arrears have persisted up to the date of hearing.
The landlord served a 14 day notice for breach of the obligation not to keep pets at the premises on 29 March 2026. The date for compliance with that notice is 12 April 2026 so a failure to comply with that notice is not proved.
It would be inequitable to refuse to terminate the tenancy because: a. there have been persistent breached of the tenant’s obligation so pay rent when due, from the start of the tenancy; b. I am satisfied that the tenant breached her obligation no to keep pets at the premises c. the tenant has not been prepared to engage with the landlord’s efforts to resolve the breaches or to engage in the Tribunal’s mediation or hearing processes.
In those circumstances the Tribunal is really left with no options other than to end the tenancy.
The landlord has provided rent record which prove the amount of rent owing.
The agreement provides that, the power and WIFI charges are to be shared between these premises, which is a sleepout on the property, and the main house, which is also rented. There is a meter on the sleepout.
The landlord has provided the Contact invoices for February and March showing power charges for the whole property and the meter readings showing the tenant’s use, which prove the amount owed by the tenant towards those invoices.
Because [The applicant/s] has succeeded with the claim I must reimburse the filing fee.
