Filing Fee Rent arrears

Order

The tenancy of [The tenant/s] tenant/s] at 93A Maraetotara Road, Whakatane 3121 is terminated, and possession is granted to Ozgur Deniz Iseri as Trustee for Bengonur Family Trust, immediately.
[The tenant/s] tenant/s] must pay Ozgur Deniz Iseri as Trustee for Bengonur Family Trust $2,234.71 immediately, calculated as shown in the table below:

Reasons

The landlord appeared by video link. The tenant did not join the link. I called the tenant on the contact number provided but the call went to voicemail. The hearing has proceeded in the tenant’s absence.
The tenancy commenced on 25 November 2025 and is periodic. On 12 August 2026, the landlord filed a claim for termination due to rent arrears of at least 21 days and for failing to remedy a 14-day breach notice for rent arrears.
The landlord has produced an up-to-date rent summary and the 14-day breach notice. The summary shows that the rent at the commencement of the tenancy was $400.00 per week, which was reduced to $300.00 on 22 June 2026, where it has remained. The landlord stated that WINZ paid a proportion of the rent, with the tenant making up the balance. The landlord states that initially, payments were regular but then became irregular. Law
Section 55(1) of the Residential Tenancies Act 1986 (The “Act”) provides that if the rent is more than 21 days in arrears at the time the application is filed, the Tribunal must terminate the tenancy.
Under section 56 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.
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. Analysis and decision
I am satisfied that the rent was at least 21 days in arrears on the date the application was filed, 12 August 2026. The 14-day breach notice was not remedied. Although both grounds for termination have been established, only one is required.
The tenancy is terminated, and possession is granted to the landlord immediately. I award the rent arrears claimed. Costs
Because Ozgur Deniz Iseri as Trustee for Bengonur Family Trust has wholly succeeded with the claim I must reimburse the filing fee. Name suppression
Although the landlord has been wholly successful and is entitled to name suppression, they do not seek it, and no orders are made.
