Filing Fee Rent arrears

Order

The tenancy of [The tenant/s] at 11 Kawakawa Street, Whanganui East, Whanganui 4500 is terminated, and possession is granted to [The party], at 11.59 pm on Thursday 4 May 2026.
The Bond Centre is to pay the bond of $2,000.00 (BN00120016) to [The party] immediately.
[The tenant/s] must pay [The party] $4,328.00 immediately, calculated as shown in the table below:

Reasons

The landlord attended the hearing which was held by videoconference. The tenant did not attend. The Tribunal contacted the tenant on the contact number provided in the application but without success. I am satisfied that adequate service of the hearing notice has been completed and considered it reasonable to proceed with the hearing in the tenant’s absence.
The landlord has applied for termination of the tenancy, rent arrears and refund of the bond.

Should the tenancy be terminated?

The Tribunal shall terminate a tenancy where: a. on 3 separate occasions within a 90-day period the rent has been at least 5 working days in arrear; and b. on each occasion the landlord gave the tenant written notice advising the tenant of the arrear, the dates for which rent was overdue, the amount or amounts of overdue rent, and the tenant’s right to make an application to the Tribunal challenging the notice; and c. each notice stated how many other notices (if any) the landlord had given the tenant under this paragraph in relation to the same tenancy and 90-day period; and d. the landlord’s application to the Tribunal was made within 28 days after the landlord gave the third notice. See section 55(1)(aa) Residential Tenancies Act 1986.
In this case I find the landlord has served notices on the tenant as required in the Residential Tenancies Act 1986, and the application to the Tribunal was made within 28 days of the date of the third notice.
The rent arrears have significantly increased since the filing of the application.
The grounds have been established and the tenancy must be terminated. Rent records have been provided which prove the amount owing, as ordered above.
As the landlord has wholly succeeded with the claim, I must reimburse the filing fee.
