Order
- The tenancy of Soane Tuitupou Junior PAILATE at 4A Mahana Road, Saint Andrews, Hamilton 3200 is terminated, and possession is granted to Rent Sure Limited, at 5:00 pm on Friday 22 August 2025.

- The balance of the bond of $1,053.00 is to remain at the Bond Centre.
Reasons
- The landlord attended the hearing via videoconference on 13 August 2025. The tenant did not.
- The landlord has applied for termination of the tenancy, rent arrears and refund of the bond.
- Rent was at least 21 days in arrears on the date the application was filed.
- Further to that, the landlord gave notice to not continue the fixed-term tenancy for the tenant and 25 July 2025 was to be the last day of the tenancy.
- I am satisfied that the grounds for termination have been met. See sections 55(1)(a) and 64(1) of the Residential Tenancies Act 1986.
- The tenancy of Soane Tuitupou Junior PAILATE at 4A Mahana Road, Saint Andrews, Hamilton 3200 is terminated, and possession is granted to Rent Sure Limited, at 5:00 pm on Friday 22 August 2025.
- The landlord provided rent records which prove the amount owing to the end of the tenancy.
- I order the tenant to pay the landlord $1,080.00 for rent arrears.
- Finally, because the landlord has wholly succeeded with the claim, the tenant must reimburse the filing fee.
