Order

No application for suppression has been made in this case and no suppression orders apply around publication of this decision.
The tenancy of Sue Kingi and Ranga Terangi at 55 Helvetia Road, Pukekohe, Pukekohe 2120 is terminated, and possession is granted to Reforma P.M. Limited - As Agent For Jafm Investments Ltd, at 11.59pm on Monday 4 September 2023.
The Bond Centre is to pay $1,104.18 from the bond of $1,860.00 (6061214- 004) to Reforma P.M. Limited - As Agent For Jafm Investments Ltd immediately, calculated as per the table below.
The balance of the bond of $755.82 is to remain at the Bond Centre.

Reasons

The landlord and Ms Kingi attended the hearing which was held by teleconference. I rang the number provided for Mr Terangi but was unable to connect with him. The hearing proceeded in his absence.
The landlord has applied for termination of the tenancy, rent arrears, water rates, reimbursement of the filing fee and payment from the bond.

Should the tenancy be terminated?

The Tribunal shall terminate a tenancy where: a. on 3 separate occasions within a 90-day period the rent has been at least 5 working days in arrear; and b. on each occasion the landlord gave the tenant written notice advising the tenant of the arrear, the dates for which rent was overdue, the amount or amounts of overdue rent, and the tenant’s right to make an application to the Tribunal challenging the notice; and c. each notice stated how many other notices (if any) the landlord had given the tenant under this paragraph in relation to the same tenancy and 90-day period; and d. the landlord’s application to the Tribunal was made within 28 days after the landlord gave the third notice. See section 55(1)(aa) Residential Tenancies Act 1986.
In this case I find the landlord has served notices on the tenant as required in the Residential Tenancies Act 1986, and the application to the Tribunal was made within 28 days of the date of the third notice.
The grounds have been established and the tenancy must be terminated. Rent records have been provided which prove the amount owing as at today’s date, as ordered above.
I note that the landlord stated that they wanted the termination date put at Monday 4 September 2023, rather than today, to allow the tenants time to vacate the tenancy. Outstanding water rates and filing fee
I also accept that as at today’s date there is $27.00 owing in water rates.
Further to these payments, because Reforma P.M. Limited - As Agent For Jafm Investments Ltd has wholly succeeded with the claim I must order the tenants to reimburse them the filing fee. Mr Terangi
At today’s hearing I came to understand that Mr Terangi left the tenancy premises in November 2022.
I accept that he was sent the required papers to remove him from the tenancy agreement but that he has failed to return these papers.
He therefore remains on the tenancy agreement and is jointly and severally liable for the payments ordered above, C ter Haar 29 August 2023
