Reasons
- Both parties attended the hearing.

The previous order is incorporated into this order for enforcement purposes. The amount still owing from this order is $5,645.94.
Should the tenancy be terminated?
- Rent was at least 21 days in arrears on the date the application was filed and is currently at $17,100.00 of arrears. The Tribunal’s notes that no rent has been paid since 2 March 2026. These current rent arrears are in addition to the $8,550.00 rent arrears the tenant owed as at 29 October 2025, which was awarded under application 5338134 on 30 October 2025. The tenancy is terminated. See section 55(1)(a) Residential Tenancies Act 1986.
- The landlord provided rent records which prove the amount owing at the end of the tenancy.
- The landlord has also provided water rates records that show the tenant water rates arrears from 2 October 2025 to 4 June 2026 are $869.26. These water rates arrears are in addition to the $867.94 awarded to the landlord on 30 October 2025 in Order NZTT5338134. Reimbursement of filing fee
- Section 102(4) of the RTA confirms that applicants that are wholly or substantially successful in proving their claims will have their filing fee reimbursed.
- Because Tavrika Limited (Egor Shcherbakov & Elena Vasileva) has wholly succeeded with the claim I must reimburse the filing fee.
