Order

The tenancy of [The tenant/s] tenant/s] and [The tenant/s] tenant/s] at 1/5 Browns Road, Manurewa, Auckland 2102 is terminated, and possession is granted to Max Rentals Nz Limited, at 11.59pm on 6 August 2026.
By consent, the Tenant shall pay the Landlord $2582.26 by 6 August 2026.

Reasons

Both parties attended the hearing.
The landlord has applied for rent arrears, water rates arrears, reimbursement of the filing fee, refund of the bond and termination of the tenancy for breach of the tenant’s obligations.
The parties agreed for the Tenant to pay the Landlord, the amount claimed for rent arrears up to 6 August 2026 and water rates as stipulated in the table above.
It is noted that the Landlord submitted at the hearing, if the Tenant paid the total amount owing for rent and water rates arrears stated in these Orders by 6 August 2026, they would not enforce termination of the tenancy on 6 August 2026.
The Landlord did not seek a conditional termination. The Tenant had fallen into substantial rent arrears previously and then failed to adhere to a payment arrangement with the Landlord.

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.
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 the rent on time.
The landlord served a 14-day notice on the tenant on 20 April 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 been consistently in rent arrears and previously did not adhere to a payment arrangement for rent arrears with the Landlord.
I have not ordered a refund of the bond in the event the tenant makes payment by 6 August 2026.
As Max Rentals Nz Limited has wholly succeeded with the claim the Tenant must reimburse the filing fee.
