New Zealand Tenancy Tribunal Case 5446128 — Rent arrears

Q: What was Tenancy Tribunal case 5446128 about?

The tribunal order states: An application for suppression has been made in this case, and the Tribunal

Order

This order amends and replaces the Tribunal Order dated 9 March 2026 under the same application number, to correct a typing error in order 4. below. Apart from this error the order remains the same.

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 Chase Clark at [Tenancy address suppressed] is terminated, and possession is granted to [The landlord/s], immediately.
The Bond Centre is to pay the bond of $0.00 ([Bond number suppressed]) to [The landlord/s] immediately.
immediately, calculated as shown in the table below:

Reasons

The property manager and the owner/landlord attended the hearing by video. The tenant did not attend.
The landlord has applied for termination of the tenancy, rent arrears and refund of the bond. The landlord applied for termination on the grounds that: a.rent was at last 21 days in arrears on the day the application was filed, and b.the tenant was given 3 separate notices within 90 days advising that rent was owing for at least 5 working days after it was due. See section 55(1) and section 55(1)(aa) Residential Tenancies Act 1986 (RTA) respectively.
The landlord engaged the property manager in January 2026 to manage the tenancy. The landlord advised the tenant that they were managing the premises on 26 January 2026 and that all future payments were to be made to the property manager’s bank account.
I am satisfied that from 27 January 2026 the tenant should have been paying the property manager all rent owed. The tenant has paid no rent to the property manager’s account. Neither has the tenant paid any rent to the landlord’s bank account from 27 January 2026.
The landlord has also applied for the bond. Should the tenancy be terminated under section 55(1)(aa)?
The Tribunal shall terminate a tenancy where: a. on 3 separate occasions within a 90-day period the rent has been at least 5 working days in arrear; and b. on each occasion the landlord gave the tenant written notice advising the tenant of the arrear, the dates for which rent was overdue, the amount or amounts of overdue rent, and the tenant’s right to make an application to the Tribunal challenging the notice; and c. each notice stated how many other notices (if any) the landlord had given the tenant under this paragraph in relation to the same tenancy and 90-day period; and d. the landlord’s application to the Tribunal was made within 28 days after the landlord gave the third notice. See section 55(1)(aa) Residential Tenancies Act 1986.
In this case I find the landlord served notices on the tenant as required in the Residential Tenancies Act 1986, and the application to the Tribunal was made within 28 days of the date of the third notice.
The grounds have been established under section 55(1)(aa). Therefore the tenancy must be terminated under this provision of the RTA. Other matters
Reimbursement of the Filing Fee: As the landlord has wholly succeeded with the claim I must reimburse the filing fee. See s104(4), RTA.
Suppression: The landlord has applied for suppression. The landlord has been wholly successful in the claim and is entitled to suppression. See s 95A, RTA. The landlord’s name and identifying details including the address of the tenancy are not to be published.
