Order
- An application for suppression has been made in this case, and the Tribunal orders suppression of the tenant’s name and identifying details.
- By consent: a. the tenancy of [The tenant/s] at 5 Lyn Street, Lynmouth, New Plymouth 4310 is terminated, and possession is granted to Ian Esmond Wilson, at 11:59pm on Wednesday 24 June 2026; b. the Bond Centre is to pay the bond of $930.00 ([Bond number suppressed]) to Ian Esmond Wilson immediately; c. [The tenant/s] owes Ian Esmond Wilson $1,185.14, calculated below:
Reasons
- Both parties attended the hearing by teleconference. The tenant was represented by his son.
- The landlord issued the tenant a 90 day notice ending the tenancy on 13 May 2026.
- The tenant does not dispute that it is a valid notice, but financial pressures have made it difficult for the tenant to move out. He is now able to do so and will return the keys to the landlord direct, after 5pm tomorrow 24 June 2026.
- The parties agree that the last rent payment was made on 29 May 2025, which paid the rent to 6 June 2026, leaving $1,147.14 owed to termination date.
- Because Ian Esmond Wilson has succeeded with the claim I must reimburse the filing fee.
- The landlord is happy to accept the bond in full satisfaction of the rent arrears and filing fee.
