The tenancy of [The tenant/s] tenant/s] at 46 Haultain Street, Fairfield, Hamilton 3214 is terminated, and possession is granted to Lodge City Rentals Limited As Agent For Elke Dos Santos & Graham Dos Santos, at 5pm 13 August 2026.

The Bond Centre is to pay the bond of $2,380.00 (BN-25095417) to Lodge City Rentals Limited As Agent For Elke Dos Santos & Graham Dos Santos immediately.

[The tenant/s] tenant/s] must pay Lodge City Rentals Limited As Agent For Elke Dos Santos & Graham Dos Santos $1,719.00 immediately, calculated as shown in the table below:

Reasons

This tenancy started on February 2026. The weekly rent was $595, and the Tenant paid a bond of $2,380.

The Tenant has fallen behind on rent payments, so the Landlord has applied to the Tribunal to recover those rent arrears and for orders terminating the tenancy and granting possession of the premises to it.

The Tenant did not attend the hearing. I called her on the phone number provided in the tenancy agreement. She did not answer. The rent arrears

The Landlord has produced the tenancy agreement and a rent summary. Those documents show rent arrears of $4,070 as of 9 August 2026. During the hearing, the property managers said they would provide an updated rent summary to include an extra day of arrears up to the hearing date. The property managers have not provided that further information, so I proceed on the evidence that was provided.

I accept that evidence as an accurate record of the rent that has been paid during the tenancy and find that the Tenant owes $4.070 in rent arrears to the Landlord. Termination and possession

Because the rent was in arrears by at least 21 days when this application was made, I must make an order terminating the tenancy. 1 I see no basis for making this order conditional. 2 Given the extent of the rent arrears, and the fact that the rent summary shows other instances of unpaid rent throughout the tenancy, I cannot be satisfied that the Tenant will promptly remedy this breach or that a similar breach will not occur in the future.

I order that the tenancy is terminated under section 55(1)(a) of the Residential Tenancies Act 1986. Possession is also granted to the Landlord from 5pm 13 August 2026. 3 Filing fee

The Landlord has been wholly successful in its claim. It is entitled to recover the filing fee of $29. Although the Landlord has been wholly successful, it does not seek name suppression. 1 Residential Tenancies Act 1986, section 55(1)(a). 2 Under section 55(1A) of the Residential Tenancies Act 1986, I can make a termination order conditional, but only if I am satisfied that the tenant will pay the rent within a specified time and that it is unlikely that the tenant will fail to pay the rent in the future. 3 Residential Tenancies Act 1986, section 64(3)- a termination order under section 55 has the effect of a possession order granting possession of the premises to the landlord. Bond

I order that the Bond Centre is to refund the bond of $2,380 to the Landlord.
