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 [The tenant/s] tenant/s] and [The tenant/s] tenant/s] at [Tenancy address suppressed] is terminated, and possession is granted to [The tenant/s] landlord/s], at 11.59pm on Friday 17 July 2026.
[The tenant/s] tenant/s] and [The tenant/s] tenant/s] are to pay [The tenant/s] landlord/s] from the bond, calculated as shown in the table below:
The Bond Centre is to pay from the bond of ([Bond number suppressed]) to [The tenant/s] landlord/s] immediately.
The balance of the bond of is to remain at the Bond Centre.

Reasons

The landlord attended the hearing, and the Tribunal was assisted by an interpreter. There was no appearance by the tenants at the scheduled time. The start of the hearing was delayed, and the matter was called again. The tenants still did not attend. As they have been notified, the hearing proceeded.
The landlord has applied for termination of the tenancy for breach of the tenant’s obligations, rent arrears and payment from the bond. For this tenancy there is a general bond of $2,920.00 and a pet bond of $1,460.00.

Should the tenancy be terminated?

Where a landlord applies to terminate for breach, and rent is at least 21 days in arrears on the hearing date, the Tribunal must terminate the tenancy. See sections 55 and 56(2) of the Residential Tenancies Act 1986 (the RTA).
Rent is at least 21 days in arrears at the hearing date, which means that the grounds for termination have been established. Accordingly, the tenancy is terminated. The landlord is willing to delay the termination date to 17 July 2026.

How much do the tenants owe?

The landlord provided rent records and oral evidence to establish the amount owing at the end of the tenancy, as awarded above.
Section 77(2)(kaa) of the RTA allows the Tribunal to order the payment of all or part of a pet bond if money found to be owing by a tenant (whether for damage unrelated to a pet, or rent in arrears) exceeds the amount of the general bond. In this case, the amount owed in rent arrears exceeds the amount of the general bond, so the Tribunal orders payment of part of the pet bond for the balance of the rent due. Filing fee and name suppression
As the landlord has been successful, the tenant is to pay the landlord’s filing fee. The landlord’s request for name suppression is granted on the same basis.
