Order

An application for suppression has been made in this case, and the Tribunal orders suppression of the Landlord name and identifying details.
The tenancy of HET PATEL, BHAVYARAJSINH MAHENDRASINH KHER and HARDIK BAROT at [Tenancy address suppressed] is terminated, and possession is granted to [The landlord/s], at 5pm Sunday 26 April 2026.
HET PATEL, BHAVYARAJSINH MAHENDRASINH KHER and HARDIK BAROT must pay [The landlord/s] $31,910.33 immediately, calculated as shown in the table below:

This order incorporates the Tribunal order made on 30 July 2025 under application 5290299.
The Bond Centre is to pay the bond of $4,800.00 ([Bond number suppressed]) to [The landlord/s] immediately.

Reasons

The landlord attended the hearing, set down to be conducted via video conference. There was no entry into the conference by the tenant, nor any call in to the conference by one of the telephone numbers provided on the Notice of Hearing. I was satisfied adequate service had completed and I continued with the hearing.
The landlord has applied for termination of the tenancy, rent arrears, water rates and refund of the bond.
Rent was at least 21 days in arrears on the date the application was filed. The tenancy is terminated. See section 55(1)(a) Residential Tenancies Act 1986.
The landlord provided rent records which prove the amount owing at the end of the tenancy is as ordered.
The landlord provided water records which prove the amount owing today is as ordered. I was satisfied that no fixed charges were included in the invoiced amounts as sought.
On 30 July 2025 the Tribunal made an order relating to this tenancy, for water rates of $2,763.67 and the filing fee of $27.00. The previous order is incorporated into this order for enforcement purposes. That order also provided for a conditional termination but the landlord failed to exercise that within 90 days of the first breach of the conditions, requiring this second application as possession under the first order was no longer enforceable when sought. Filing fee
Because [The applicant/s] has wholly succeeded with the claim I must reimburse the filing fee. Suppression
Section 95A RTA states regarding suppression orders that 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party that has wholly or substantially succeeded in proceedings, order that the party’s name or identifying particulars not be published, unless the Tribunal considers that publication is in the public interest or is justified because of the party’s conduct or any other circumstances of the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.
Further, 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.
The landlord requested suppression in its application. As it has been wholly successful, suppression is ordered.
