An application for suppression has been made in this case, and the Tribunal orders suppression of the tenant’s name and identifying details.

The tenancy of [The tenant/s] at 3 Scarlet Lane, Redwood, Christchurch 8051 is terminated, and possession is granted to Mitchell Howie, from 12 midnight on 25 March 2026.

The Bond Centre is to pay the bond of $2,800.00 ([Bond number suppressed]) to Mitchell Howie immediately.

[The tenant/s] must pay Mitchell Howie $28.00 immediately, calculated as shown in the table below:

Reasons

Both parties attended the hearing. Ms [G] attended on behalf of the tenants.

Mr [E] had telephoned Tenancy Services just prior to the hearing beginning to say that he was unable to attend a face-to-face hearing due to health concerns and requesting an adjournment.

No evidence was provided to support the health claims and insufficient notice had been given to reschedule the hearing, so it went ahead in his absence.

The landlord has applied for termination of the tenancy for breach of the tenant’s obligations, rent arrears and refund of the bond and reimbursement of the filling fee.

Ms [G] and Mr [E] lived at the property together for most of the term of the tenancy. Ms [G] had completed and signed the tenancy agreement on behalf of herself and Mr [E]. It was a fixed term tenancy to October 2026. Mr [E] paid the bond.

Ms [G] had left the property in February this year with the intention that Mr [E] would remain and take over the tenancy.

The landlord had prepared a new tenancy agreement with Mr [E] as sole tenant. Mr [E] had signed the pre tenancy inspection checklist page of the tenancy agreement but had not completed or signed the full agreement. He had paid some rent since Ms [G]’s departure.

Mr [E] was the only tenant named in the landlord application as the landlord had no issue with Ms [G] during her occupation of the property. Nevertheless, she remains a tenant at this time and was added to the application by the Tribunal.

Should the tenancy be terminated?

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 under sections 55 and 56(2) of the Residential Tenancies Act 1986 (the Act).

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

How much does the tenant owe?

The landlord provided rent records which prove the amount due as at the hearing date is $2,800.00. This amount takes the tenant to 25 March 2026 and the landlord consented to termination as at that date as ordered above. Name suppression and filing fee

No application for suppression was made in the application but the landlord acknowledged that Ms [G] had no fault in the current proceedings, having left the property prior to the rent falling into arrears. Name suppression has been granted to protect her.

As Mitchell Howie has wholly succeeded with the claim I must reimburse the filing fee.
