Order
- The tenancy of Mark Neil Robinson at 30 Mays Road, Onehunga, Auckland 1061 is terminated, and possession is granted to Kāinga Ora–Homes And Communities, immediately.
- Mark Neil Robinson must pay Kāinga Ora–Homes And Communities $654.00 immediately, being rent arrears to 29 April 2026.
Reasons
- The landlord attended the hearing held on 29 April 2026 by telephone. An attempt was made to join the tenant to the hearing by telephone, but the call went to voicemail.
- 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 not living at the premises. The tenancy agreement contains the following clause 1 : “You must live at the premises at all times and the premises must be used principally as a home for you and your family.”
- The landlord served a 14-day notice on the tenant on 13 February 2026, and the tenant did not remedy the breach within the required period.
- It would be inequitable to refuse to terminate the tenancy because the premises are now vacant and it appears that the tenant has not lived there since November 2025.
- The landlord has applied for rent arrears and has provided rent records which prove the amount owing.
