Order

The tenancy of Nguyen My Van, Doan Thu Anh and Minh Hung Phan at 186 Dawson Road, Flat Bush, Auckland 2023 is terminated, and possession is granted to Landed Property Management Limited as Agent for Kurush and Daisy Investment Limited, at 4.30pm on Tuesday 20 May 2025.
The Bond Centre is to pay the bond of $3,040.00 (5199347-012) to Landed Property Management Limited as Agent for Kurush and Daisy Investment Limited immediately.
Nguyen My Van, Doan Thu Anh and Minh Hung Phan must pay Landed Property Management Limited as Agent for Kurush and Daisy Investment Limited $3,082.21 immediately, calculated as shown in the table below.

Reasons

The hearing was conducted by telephone. Only the landlord’s representative attended. Calls to the tenants at the time of the hearing were not answered. I am satisfied that the tenants have been served with the application, the Notice of Hearing and with details of the landlord’s claims. It seems that the tenants have returned to Thailand. I therefore proceeded with the hearing.
The landlord has applied for termination of the tenancy for abandonment, rent arrears, compensation, and payment of the bond. The tenancy is for a fixed term until 17 October 2025. Termination
The Tribunal may terminate the tenancy where the premises have been abandoned and rent is in arrear at the hearing date. See section 61 of the 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.
On 22 April 2025 the tenants messaged the landlord and said that they had moved out of the premises. The landlord inspected and found that the tenants had moved all their belongings out of the premises and there was no sign of occupation.
Because the premises have been abandoned, and rent is in arrear, the tenancy is terminated immediately. Rent
The landlord provided rent records to prove the amount owing to 22 May 2025 as ordered. The premises have not been relet and so rent arrears will continue to accrue. Compensation
The tenants were required to pay the water rates but failed to do so in full. The landlord produced evidence of the rates outstanding, and I have awarded that amount.
The landlord has incurred reletting costs because of the tenants’ early departure. They consist of $172.50 advertising costs and $874 for the property manager’s costs associated with reletting the premises. I find those charges to be reasonable and so I have awarded them.
The tenants were required to keep the premises reasonably clean and tidy and remove all rubbish from the premises. They failed to do so and so I have awarded the costs of cleaning, garden work and rubbish removal.
The sums awarded were proved by the production of photographs and invoices.
The tenants must not carelessly or intentionally damage the premises.
There was some damage to cupboards and a shower waste at the premises during the tenancy and the tenants have not disproved liability for it. The sum awarded was proved by the production of photographs and a quotation. Filing Fee
The landlord has been successful and so I have awarded the filing fee. Bond
The bond will be paid to the landlord and the tenants must pay the remaining liability.
