[The party] must pay Body Corporate 344046 $8,119.25 immediately, calculated as follows: DescriptionsApplicantRespondent Insurance to 31 Aug 2025 as due$3,867.00 Baycorp collection costs NZTT9051404$1,181.11 Interest to 22 Sep 25$287.34 Filing Fee$500.00 Ordinary Levy$1,708.80 Debt Recovery$575.00 Total award$8,119.25 Total payable by Respondent to Applicant $8,119.25

Reasons

The hearing was conducted via video conference. Lisa Quinlan and Connor Larsen-Cross, both of Quay Building Corporate Management appeared for Body Corporate 344046.
The owner had earlier requested an adjournment, stating she would be overseas in China at the time of the hearing. The request was declined as the hearing was conducted via video conference and with a time-zone friendly scheduling. It was open for her to attend from there. Regardless, a call to her mobile phone was made after her non-appearance but that call was unanswered.
The body corporate has applied for recovery of unpaid levies, interest, costs and the filing fee from the unit owner.

Does the Unit Owner owe the levies claimed?

A unit owner must pay all body corporate levies and outgoings payable for the unit. See sections 80(1)(f) and 121(1) Unit Titles Act 2010.
The body corporate has determined the levies payable and unit owner's share has been calculated according to their utility interest.
The body corporate has fixed the due date for the levies to be paid, and the unit owner has not paid the levies by that date. See section 124(1) Unit Titles Act 2010. The body corporate has provided records to prove the amount claimed.
The claims were varied to include the latest insurance invoice of $2,064.17 as presented and as due on 19 September 2025.

Is the Unit owner liable for interest?

If a unit owner fails to pay levies by the due date, interest accrues on the unpaid balance. A body corporate may charge interest up to 10% per annum. See section 128 Unit Titles Act 2010.
The body corporate has resolved to charge interest at 10% per annum on unpaid levies. The Body Corporate has proved the amount of interest owing from the due date to the hearing date.

Is the Unit owner liable for costs?

Pursuant to section 124 UTA, and as resolved at meetings of the Body Corporate, the Body Corporate is entitled to recover any reasonable costs incurred by it in collecting unpaid levies as a debt due by the owner to the Body Corporate. In accordance with the judgments (of the District Court and Court of Appeal respectively) in Body Corporate 162791 v Cheah DC Auckland, CIV2014-004- 0120, 24 June 2014 and Body Corporate 162791 v Gilbert [2015] NZCA 185, the Tribunal must order that the reasonable costs incurred by the Body Corporate in recovering the levies, objectively assessed, be paid by a defaulting unit owner. I am satisfied that the costs ordered above are reasonable.
The claims included collection costs for a prior order in NZTT9051404 dated 12 August 2024. These had been invoiced and such costs may be awarded here.
Because the body corporate has succeeded with the claim I have reimbursed the filing fee. Section 176(1) Unit Titles Act 2010 and section 102(4) Residential Tenancies Act 1986.
