Order

The Tribunal orders suppression of the Tenant names and identifying details.
[The tenant/s] must pay North Island Community Services Limited $1,155.83 immediately, calculated as shown in table below.
The Bond Centre is to pay the bond of $2,260.00 ([Bond number suppressed]) to North Island Community Services Limited immediately.

Reasons

Both parties attended the hearing. There was no appearance by the second tenant, [redacted].
The two tenants are no longer in contact.
The landlord has applied for rent arrears, water rates, refund of the bond, and reimbursement of the filing fee following the end of the tenancy.
The application had sought an order for abandonment. That was unsuccessful as an expediated application. The claim is now moot given the pending end of the fixed-term liability.

How much is owed for rent and water rates?

The tenancy ends on 14 May 2026. This a fixed-term tenancy ending earlier on this date due to a new tenancy commencing 15 May 2026. The landlord provided rent records and water rates invoices which prove the amounts owing at the end of the tenancy are as ordered. Filing fee
Because North Island Community Services Limited has wholly succeeded with the claim I must reimburse the filing fee. Suppression
Section 95A RTA provides the Tribunal may, on the application of any party to proceedings or on its own initiative, having regard to the interests of the parties and to the public interest, order that all or part of the evidence given or the name or any identifying particulars of any witness or party not be published.
The tenant requested name suppression at the hearing. Given the single circumstance leading to the early exit of the tenants and subsequent rent arrears, as well as no other breaches or failures by them, I consider it appropriate to order tenant name suppression. Their interests in being granted suppression outweigh any public interest in this matter.
