Filing Fee Rent arrears

Order

An application for suppression has been made in this case, and the Tribunal orders suppression of the landlord’s name and identifying details.
The tenancy of LaiShou Li at 5 Queen Natalie Place, Massey, Auckland 0614 is terminated, and possession is granted to [the landlord], at 12 noon on Thursday 18 June 2026.
LaiShou Li must pay [the landlord] $28.00 immediately, calculated as shown in the table below. The landlord may retain the bond.

Reasons

The hearing was conducted by video conference. Only the landlord attended the hearing. Ms Qin interpreted for him.
The landlord has applied for termination of the tenancy for abandonment, rent arrears and payment of the bond.
The Tribunal may terminate the tenancy where the premises have been abandoned and rent is in arrear at the hearing date. A tenancy is abandoned where the tenant leaves the premises without reasonable excuse and does not intend to return or to meet their obligations.
This tenancy began on 5 April 2026 for a fixed term until 4 April 2027.
On 28 May the landlord received a telephone call from the Police to say that they had raided the premises and found a cannabis growing operation. There was no sign of the tenant. The Police told the landlord that the tenant had given him a false identity and that they believed he has fled the country.
The landlord inspected the premises and found that there was substantial damage to them, seemingly due to the tenant’s activities. He has obtained quotations for the remedial work needed. It will be many weeks before the premises can be re-tenanted.
The tenant has paid rent to 30 May and so there are two weeks of rent arrears.
Because the premises have been abandoned, and rent is in arrear, the tenancy is terminated immediately.
I have awarded four weeks rent arrears because the landlord is entitled to rent until the premises have been re-tenanted or the end of the tenancy whichever comes first. There will be arrears of at least four weeks rent before the premises can be re-tenanted.
The landlord holds the rent and so I have given the tenant credit for it.
The landlord has succeeded and so I have awarded the filing fee. For the same reason I have granted the landlord’s request for name suppression.
