Order

[The tenant/s] must pay Montgomerie Property Limited $3,948.00 immediately, as calculated below:

Reasons

Ms Li counsel for and Mr Taafe a director of the applicant company attended the video hearing of this application together with one of the shareholders. The tenant did not attend.
On 14 January 2026 the Tribunal made an order terminating the tenancy on application by the former landlord IHome Property Management Limited. Possession was granted to the landlord on 16 January 2026 1 .
That landlord did not enforce the possession order, and it has now lapsed.
The property was then sold. Montgomerie Property Limited (MPL) is the current owner registered on the record of title (copy produced).
After the sale and purchase, MPL sent the tenant a change of landlord form and prepared a new tenancy agreement.
The tenant did not sign the agreement but has paid rent to the current landlord. The payment of rent establishes the tenancy as between these parties 2 .
The tenant last paid rent on 17 March 2026. The tenant is now in arrears, a breach of the tenancy agreement and of the Residential Tenancies Act 1986 (RTA).
The landlord has applied for termination of the tenancy for breach of the tenant’s obligations, rent arrears, and the filing fee.

Should the tenancy be terminated?

Where a landlord applies to terminate for breach, and rent is at least 21 days in arrears at the hearing date, the Tribunal must terminate the tenancy. See sections 55 and 56(2) RTA.
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 of rent owing as of today. 1 See [2026] NZTT 5388890 2 See section 2 RTA – definition of tenancy
I have added the filing fee to the amount of rent owed. On a successful application the landlord is entitled to reimbursement of the filing fee. Date of possession
I have made the possession order for the end of the day today. With the holiday weekend, the landlord will not be able to apply for enforcement until 2 working days have passed. That alone builds in time for the tenant to move.
