Order

The tenancy of Catherine Bennett at 11B Langton Road, Stanmore Bay, Whangaparaoa 0932 is terminated, and possession is granted to Re-Bran Limited As Agent For Ronald Goodwin, at 6pm on Wednesday 26 March 2025.
Catherine Bennett is to pay the filing fee of $27.00 immediately.

Reasons

Both parties attended the hearing.
The landlord has applied for termination of the tenancy for breach of the tenant’s obligations.

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 having a puppy at the property without first obtaining permission. The landlord does not want the puppy she has obtained to remain at the property because of the damage it is causing and because it is disturbing the neighbours by barking.
The landlord served a 14-day notice on the tenant on 12 December 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 landlord does not wish to have a puppy at the property. The property was advertised as “mature pet” preferably a cat maybe “considered on application”. The tenancy agreement says no pets unless permission is granted.
The tenancy started in September 2024. In about November Ms Bennett got a medium sized “staffie/huntaway” puppy. She did not request permission.
When a property inspection occurred on 11/12/2024 the property manager, observed the puppy and stood in pet urine on the carpet in the hallway.
A breach notice was served the following day. The dog remains at the property.
While the breach could have been remedied, it has not been. The tenant has refused to remove the dog.
The dog is kept inside and has ripped an area of carpet as well as urinating on the carpet. Three different neighbours have complained that the dog is barking and complained that Ms Bennett is disturbing their peace when she yells at the dog abusively.
Simply put it is quite reasonable to end this tenancy because of the seriousness of the breach, and it would be quite unreasonable to refuse to make the requested termination order.
Ms Bennett has now been on notice for quite some time that the tenancy was likely to end because of the breach. The one week’s timeframe, to allow her time to move, is reasonable in the circumstances.
Because Re-Bran Limited As Agent For Ronald Goodwin has wholly succeeded with the claim I must reimburse the filing fee. The landlord did not request name suppression. The public interest requires that the tenant’s name is published.
