Order

The tenancy of Joseph Leonard Toby at 48 Takanini Road, Takanini, Takanini 2112 is terminated, and possession is granted to New Age Rentals Limited and Dilawar Mander, at 10am on 6 May 2025.
Joseph Leonard Toby must pay New Age Rentals Limited and Dilawar Mander $4,759.33 immediately, calculated as shown in the table below:
The Bond Centre is to pay the bond of $1,310.00 (6467567-006) to New Age Rentals Limited and Dilawar Mander immediately.

Reasons

Msr Sidhu attended the hearing for the landlord. The tenant was phoned on the number provided but the calls went to voicemail.
The landlord has applied for termination of the tenancy for abandonment, rent arrears, water rates and refund of the bond.

Should the tenancy be terminated?

The Tribunal may terminate the tenancy where the premises have been abandoned and rent is in arrear at the hearing date: section 61 Residential Tenancies Act 1986. A tenancy is abandoned where the tenant leaves the premises without reasonable excuse, not intending to return or to meet their obligations, and fails to notify the landlord.
On 13 April 2025 the landlord became aware (or ought to have been aware) that the tenant had abandoned the premises when the landlord received emails from a person who was apparently residing at the premises with the tenant that the tenant was in prison, and no one was living at the premises.
Because the premises have been abandoned, and rent is in arrear, the tenancy is terminated immediately.

How much does the tenant owe?

The landlord provided rent records and a water rates schedule which, together with the evidence of Ms Sidhu, prove the amount owing at the end of the tenancy.
The tenancy is a fixed term tenancy expiring on 24 May 2025. Where a tenant abandons a fixed term tenancy before its expiry, the tenant is liable for rent until the end of the fixed term or until a new tenant is found, whichever is the earlier.
The landlord is successful in its claims and is therefore entitled to payment of the Tribunal application fee.
