The landlord’s other applications are dismissed

Reasons

Both parties attended the hearing.
The landlord has applied for termination of the tenancy for breach of the tenant’s obligations, rent arrears and reimbursement of the filing fee.

Should the tenancy be terminated?

Where a landlord applies to terminate for breach, and rent is at least 21 days in arrears on the hearing date, the Tribunal must terminate the tenancy. See sections 55 and 56(2) Residential Tenancies Act 1986.
Rent is at least 21 days in arrears at the hearing date. The tenancy is terminated at 5pm on Wednesday 30 October 2024.
Ms Riwaka acknowledged that she has stopped paying rent because of alleged conduct of the landlord. However, she has not made an application to the Tribunal so I cannot consider those allegations today. She also said that she is in the process of moving, and I have allowed some time for her to complete that process. She is liable for rent to the end of the tenancy.

How much does the tenant owe?

The landlord provided rent records which prove the amount owing as at the date of the hearing. I have awarded the amount shown on the landlord’s rent summary. The bond is released to the landlord. Damage to the Premises
The landlord also claimed the $3,680 for repairs to kitchen cabinets and the lounge floor. The landlord did not provide evidence of any damage, or of the condition of the property at the start of the tenancy. Those claims are dismissed.
As the landlord was substantially successful, I have awarded reimbursement of the Tribunal application fee.
