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 Vilisoni Koto at [Tenancy address suppressed] is terminated, and possession is granted to [The landlord/s], at midnight on Monday 13 April 2026.

The Bond Centre is to pay the bond of $1,600.00 ([Bond number suppressed]) to [The landlord/s] immediately.

Vilisoni Koto must pay [The landlord/s] $6,567.00 immediately, calculated as shown in the table below:

Reasons

On 16 March 2026, the landlord filed an application seeking termination of the tenancy, rent arrears and refund of the bond.

The hearing proceeded by video conference. The landlord appeared. The tenant was joined to the hearing by telephone. Should the tenancy be terminated

Under section 55(1) of the Act, the Tribunal must, subject to subsection 55(2) terminate the tenancy, if at the time the application was filed, the rent was at least 21 days in arrears.

On the date the application was filed the tenant’s rent arrears totalled $6,562.13. Rent was at least 21 days in arrears and the tenancy is terminated.

The landlord provided rent records which prove the amount owing at the end of hearing totalled $8,139.00.

The tenant did not dispute the amount claimed and told the Tribunal that he is in receipt of a WINZ benefit. The tenant said that after his rent is paid, he is left with $20.00 per week to meet all his other expenses.

The amount claimed is proved.

When should the landlord take possession of the property?

The tenant told the Tribunal that he has been unable to secure alternative accommodation and he will require time to remove his possessions from the property.

The landlord seeks to recover possession as quickly as possible to avoid further rent arrears accruing.

Having heard from the parties the Tribunal has determined it is appropriate to grant the landlord possession of the property at midnight on Monday 13 April 2026. That will afford the tenant the opportunity to remove their belongings and return the property in a reasonably clean and tidy condition without significantly increasing the rent debt. Other matters

Because [The applicant/s] has wholly succeeded with the claim I must reimburse the filing fee.

The landlord has applied for name suppression. Section 95A(1) of the Residential Tenancies Act 1986 provided that the Tribunal must, on application of a party that has been wholly or substantially successful in proceedings, order that party’s name and 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.

The landlord has wholly succeeded with the claim and is therefore granted name suppression.

The tenant also seeks name suppression. The tenant has not been wholly or substantially successful in defence of the landlord’s claim and the Tribunal declines to order suppression of their name and identifying particulars.
