Order

The tenancy of [The tenant/s] at Unit/Flat Flat 2, 30 Pegler Drive, Howick, Auckland 2014 is terminated, and possession is granted to Edwards Realty Limited as agents for Jing Wang, at 11:59pm on 22 July 2026.
[The tenant/s] must pay Edwards Realty Limited as agents for Jing Wang $1,341.33 from the bond, as calculated in the table below:
The Bond Centre is to pay $1,341.33 from the bond of $2,880.00 (number unknown) to Edwards Realty Limited as agents for Jing Wang immediately.
The balance of the bond of $1,538.67 is to remain at the Bond Centre.

Reasons

The landlord attended the hearing. The tenant did not attend, and the hearing proceeded in their absence.
The landlord has applied for termination of the tenancy for breach of the tenant’s obligations, as well as for rent arrears, compensation and outgoings.

Should the tenancy be terminated?

The Tribunal may terminate a tenancy for breach where, due to the nature or extent of the breach, it would be inequitable to refuse to terminate. See section 56(1) Residential Tenancies Act 1986 (RTA).
Where the breach is capable of remedy the landlord must first serve a notice on the tenant requiring them to remedy the breach within at least 14 days and establish that the tenant has failed to do so.
The tenant has breached their obligations by failing to pay rent arrears.
The landlord served a 14-day notice on the tenant on 5 February 2026, and the tenant did not remedy the breach within the required period.
It would be inequitable to refuse to terminate the tenancy because the tenant has failed to engage with respect to the rent arrears. The arrears have arisen because of a rent increase that was notified to the tenant in November 2025 and has not yet been actioned, and so it is likely that the rent arrears will continue to increase if the tenancy continues.
Accordingly, the tenancy is terminated, and possession is granted to the landlord (with some time allowed for moving). The tenant remains liable for rent until they vacate the property.

How much does the tenant owe?

The landlord has provided rent and water rates records which prove the amounts owing of $602.86 for rent to 8 July 2026 and $306.42 for water to 9 June 2026.
The landlord also claims for a plumbing call out fee caused by the tenant’s failure to be home at a pre-arranged time of $376.05 (as recorded on the invoice).
In addition, there was a previous Tribunal application fee incurred in August 2025 that has not yet been paid of $28.00 (5330781).
The landlord also sought a bond top up to meet rent increase, however, as the tenancy is being terminated, this is no longer required.
Because Edwards Realty Limited as agents for Jing Wang has wholly succeeded with the claim I must also reimburse the filing fee for this application. R Harvey-Lane 08 July 2026
