2. The tenant is to pay the landlord	$28.00		2. The tenant is to pay the landlord

The tenancy of [The tenant/s] and [The tenant/s] at 36 Weatherly Road, Torbay, Auckland 0630 is terminated, and possession is granted to Just Prestige Properties Limited As Agent For Jack Yang, at 11.59 pm Monday 18 May 2026.

The tenant is to pay the landlord $28.00 immediately being reimbursement of the filing fee.

Reasons

The landlord attended the video hearing, together with an interpreter.

The tenant did not follow the instructions in the notice of hearing and join the hearing. The tenant was telephoned three times but did not answer and so three messages were left.

The landlord has applied for termination of the tenancy, rent arrears and refund of the bond.

The landlord explained that the tenant had paid all rent arrears and the outstanding water rates before the hearing. She advised that the landlord had applied for termination for rent arrears three times previously and on each occasion, the tenant had failed to engage with the landlord and had then paid the substantial arrears just before the hearing.

The landlord’s rent records show that the tenant has been persistently in arrears over the three years tenancy. The Tribunal’s records show that the landlord has filed three applications for termination based on rent arrears. The landlord’s applications were each dismissed on 1 March 2024 and 9 December 2025, however the application on 6 May 2025 was granted. On each occasion, the landlord’s rent records showed that the tenant eventually paid the total amount owing. Those records also show that having cleared the arrears, the tenant fell back into arrears within a month in May 2024 and a fortnight in December 2025.

The landlord explained that the tenant’s repeated and persistent failure to pay the rent as it fell due and the accumulation of rent arrears of over 30 days had caused the landlord hardship and stress.

Rent was at least 21 days in arrears on the date the application was filed. Section 55(1)(a) Residential Tenancies Act 1986 provides that the Tribunal shall terminate a tenancy where the rent is 21-days in arrears at the date the landlord’s application is filed. Section 55(2) RTA provides that The Tribunal may refuse to make an order under subsection (1) if, but only if, it is satisfied that the breach has been remedied, the landlord has been compensated for any loss arising from the breach, and it is unlikely that the tenant will commit any further breach of a kind to which this section applies.

Given the lengthy and persistent history of rent arrears throughout this tenancy, the size of the rent arrears on two of those occasions and after three previous applications for termination for rent arrears, it is appropriate that the landlord’s application for termination be granted. The tenant has persistently been in breach of the fundamental obligation to pay rent as it falls due and the Tribunal cannot be satisfied that the tenant will not fall back into arrears.

Because Just Prestige Properties Limited As Agent For Jack Yang has wholly succeeded with the claim I must reimburse the filing fee.
