Reasons

The landlord attended the hearing by video call.
The tenant was telephoned on the phone number provided but the phone call went unanswered. I am satisfied the tenant was properly served with notice of the hearing. The hearing proceeded in her absence.
The landlord has applied for termination of the tenancy for breach of the tenant’s obligations, rent arrears, payment of the bond, compensation, and reimbursement of the filing fee,

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 rent as and when it is due and payable under the tenancy agreement.
The landlord served a 14-day notice on the tenant on 17 July 2024, and the tenant did not remedy the breach within the required period. Reasons why it is inequitable to refuse to terminate
The rent summary confirms a persistent history of rent arrears since January 2024 which is now 8 months ago.
The rent is still 16 days in arrears.
The tenant has also failed to pay an invoice for changing the locks as she lost the keys. A 14-day notice regarding this breach has been issued and not rectified.
She did not attend the hearing to make any arrangements to rectify the ongoing breaches. Rent arrears
The landlord has provided rent records which prove the amount owing to 9 August 2024 is $875.71. The tenancy is to terminate on 14 August 2024, and I have made an order for rent payable to this date. Lock and key replacement
The landlord has sought compensation for replacing the lock and key. The landlord gave evidence that the tenant lost the key and the landlord replaced the lock and key. The landlord provided an invoice to support the claim. The claim is proved. Filing fee
Because the landlord has wholly succeeded with the claim I must reimburse the filing fee. Suppression
The landlord did not seek suppression.
