Order

No application for suppression has been made in this case and no suppression orders apply around publication of this decision.
The tenancy of Horeana Josephine Vercoe at Room A, Unit/Flat Flat 4, 11 Ingram Street, Papakura, Papakura 2110 is terminated, and possession is granted to Lodge City Rentals Limited - as Agent for Bentley Studios Ltd - Ingram, immediately.
The Bond Centre is to pay the bond of $1,480.00 (6441418-010) to Lodge City Rentals Limited - as Agent for Bentley Studios Ltd - Ingram immediately.
Horeana Josephine Vercoe must pay Lodge City Rentals Limited - as Agent for Bentley Studios Ltd - Ingram $20.44 immediately, calculated as shown in the table below:

Reasons

Both parties attended the telephone hearing today.
The landlord has applied for termination of the tenancy for abandonment, rent arrears and refund of the bond.
There was also a claim for replacement of a missing TV and for cleaning. These claims were not supported by invoices.
The landlord indicated during the hearing that she was willing to limit the claim to the bond. This means that, for all practical purposes, the Tribunal does not have to make findings about the claims for the replacement TV and cleaning.
The tenant vacated the premises without giving the landlord any notice. This was not a boarding house tenancy, so the tenant could not give 48 hours’ notice to leave. The landlord discovered that the tenant had left on 27 July 2023.
Whether the tenant is treated as having abandoned under section 61(3) of the Residential Tenancies Act 1986, or simply as having failed to give 28 days’ notice under section 51(2B), I consider the landlord was entitled to rent in lieu of notice for 28 days from 27 July until 24 August 2023. The rent owed to 24 August 2023 is $1,480.00 - exactly equal to the bond.
The property has not been re-tenanted because the landlord was unsure whether they were entitled to possession.
I award rent arrears of $1,480.00 to the landlord to the end of the tenancy on 24 August 2023.
The landlord’s application has been successful. It is appropriate to award the filing fee.
