Order

The tenancy of Tricia Jones at 74A Fifteenth Avenue, Tauranga South, Tauranga 3112 is terminated, and possession is granted to Barfoot & Thompson Limited – Tauranga at 11:59pm, Monday, 13 January 2024.
Tricia Jones must pay Barfoot & Thompson Limited - Tauranga $1,020.87 immediately, calculated as shown in the table below.
The Bond Centre is to pay the bond of $1,800.00 (5014521-007) to Barfoot & Thompson Limited - Tauranga immediately.

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 refund of the bond.

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.
The landlord provided a rent summary, which recorded rent arrears as being $3,051.00 up to 17 December 2024. The rent is $450.00 per week, which is $64.29 per day. I deducted four days rent ($257.16) from the total arrears owed up to 17 December 2024 to determine the total arrears at the date of the hearing. The result is that rent arrears up to 13 December 2024 are $2,793.87 ($3,051.00 - $257.16 = $2,793.87). This figure is slightly less than the figure produced by my calculator during the hearing however, as I advised the parties, the final rent arrears figure would be determined using the Tribunal’s rent calculator, which is more accurate than my own.
Rent arrears up to 13 December 2024 are $2,793.87, which equates to 43 days. Rent is at least 21 days in arrears at the hearing date. The tenancy is terminated.
I have set the termination date at 11:59pm, Monday 13 January 2024. This is longer than usual however, I am conscious of the fact that it is nearly Christmas and the court, as well as many businesses, will be closing for 2 – 3 weeks shortly. Terminating the tenancy any earlier would make it especially difficult for the tenant to find a new property. The tenant has two young children. The landlord was alive to these issues and expressed understanding regarding the need to set the termination date a little bit later than usual.

How much does the tenant owe?

The landlord provided rent records which prove the amount owing up to 13 December 2024, namely $2,793.87.
The tenant should be aware that they remain liable to pay rent when due whilst they are still occupying the premises. Filing fee
Because Barfoot & Thompson Limited - Tauranga has wholly succeeded with the claim I must reimburse the filing fee.
