Rent arrears

Order

The tenancy of Darren Nicol at Unit/Flat 3, 500 Hereford Street, Linwood, Christchurch 8011 is terminated, and possession is granted to Hereford Limited Adrian Wynne, immediately.
Darren Nicol must pay Hereford Limited Adrian Wynne $2,568.58 immediately, being rent arrears to 4 April 2024.

Reasons

The Landlord attended the hearing by telephone. The Tenant did not answer the telephone calls made by the Tribunal on the phone number provided.
The landlord has applied for termination of the tenancy for breach of the tenant’s obligations and rent arrears.
The tenancy started in 2014 and the Landlord submits it was a verbal agreement as Tenancy Agreements were not required to be in writing at the time. The Tenant was charged $220.00 per week in rent.

Should the tenancy be terminated?

The Tribunal may terminate a tenancy for breach where, due to the nature or extent of the breach, it would be inequitable to refuse to terminate. See section 56(1) Residential Tenancies Act 1986.
Where the breach is capable of remedy the landlord must first serve a notice on the tenant requiring them to remedy the breach within at least 14 days and establish that the tenant has failed to do so.
The tenant has breached their obligations by failing to pay the rent when it was due.
The landlord served a 14-day notice on the tenant on 21 January 2024 and the tenant did not remedy the breach within the required period.
It would be inequitable to refuse to terminate the tenancy because the Tenant had stopped paying the rent for several weeks. The Landlord submitted the Tenant never gave proper notice that they were vacating the property and also became aware they abandoned it around 16 March 2024.

How much does the tenant owe?

The landlord provided rent records which prove the amount owing at the end of the tenancy.
The Landlord has not requested name suppression so this has not been granted.
