Filing Fee Rent arrears

Order

The tenancy of [The tenant/s] tenant/s] at 22C Bruce Avenue, Glenview, Hamilton 3206 is terminated, and possession is granted to G W Holdings Limited, immediately.
[The tenant/s] tenant/s] must pay G W Holdings Limited $1,149.00 immediately, calculated as shown in the table below:

Reasons

The landlord attended the hearing. The call to the tenant’s phone was answered by someone else unrelated to the hearing.
The landlord has applied for termination of the tenancy for abandonment and rent arrears.

Should the tenancy be terminated?

The Tribunal may terminate the tenancy where the premises have been abandoned and rent is in arrear at the hearing date. See section 61 Residential Tenancies Act 1986.
A tenancy is abandoned where the tenant leaves the premises without reasonable excuse, not intending to return or to meet their obligations, and fails to notify the landlord.
On 19 August 2026 the landlord became aware (or ought to have been aware) that the tenant had abandoned the premises. He knocked on the door to ask about rent arrears and the person at the house said the tenant had moved away. The person at the house allowed the landlord to enter and he took photos of the empty rooms. It seems most likely to me the tenancy has been abandoned.
Because the premises have been abandoned, and rent is in arrear, the tenancy is terminated immediately.

How much does the tenant owe?

The landlord provided rent records to 6 August 2026. The landlord did not provide me with an updated rent summary, so I have made an order based on the rent summary provided when the application was filed and the landlord’s verbal evidence that the tenant has not paid any more rent. I find I can end the tenancy and grant possession using this information. The landlord can make another claim for rent arrears and rent in lieu of notice.
Because the landlord has substantially succeeded with the claim I have reimbursed the filing fee.
