Order
- Donald Curtis Slater and Faye Slater are granted possession of the premises at 948A Whangarei Heads Road, Parua Bay, Parua Bay 0174 immediately.
- The Bond Centre is to pay the bond of $2,050.00 (5230353) to Donald Curtis Slater and Faye Slater immediately.
Reasons
- The applicant attended the hearing. The respondent did not attend or answer the phone.
- The applicant is seeking a possession order and the bond.
- They tell me that they had an agreement with the respondent to end the tenancy on 13 May 2026 and cap the rent arrears at $3340.00. They also provided a rent summary showing the rent arrears to the 16th of May 2026 is $4570.00. I am satisfied this is accurate.
- The applicant tells that they are happy to waive the rent arrears owed to them if the tribunal will credit them the bond confirm they are entitled to legal possession as the tenant has vacated the property on the 16 th of May 2026 but has left some possessions behind.
- The applicants proposed resolution is generous and advantageous to the respondent and I have therefore granted their request.
