Rent arrears

Order

The tenancy of Shirley Anne Rasmussen at 404 Bucklands Beach Road, Bucklands Beach, Auckland 2012 is terminated, and possession is granted to Kāinga Ora–Homes and Communities, immediately.
Shirley Anne Rasmussen must pay Kāinga Ora–Homes and Communities $1,219.18 immediately, as follows:

Reasons

This matter was scheduled for hearing by video conference at 9:30am today.
At 4.22pm yesterday the tenant phoned the Registry to advise that she would not be able to attend the hearing as she would be at college. An adjournment was requested. On being asked for verification, the tenant provided a screenshot with details of a class being conducted each Wednesday, Thursday and Friday from 9:00am to 4:00pm.
I asked that the Registry advise the tenant as follows: “Because the evidence suggests there is some urgency in this application being dealt with and the very late notice of her adjournment request, I will not adjourn the hearing to another day. I will however stand down the hearing until 4:30 today which will be after Ms Rasmussen’s class finishes and I will phone her then on 02040178463. Please ask her to advise if I should call a different number.”
There was no response to that message. I attempted to contact the tenant on the number indicated at 4:30pm but the call went to voicemail. The landlord attended by teleconference.
In the circumstances it would be unfair to the landlord not to proceed with the hearing. The evidence shows that there are significant arrears and that the premises are in a damaged and unsanitary condition.
The landlord has applied for termination of the tenancy and rent arrears.
Rent was at least 21 days in arrears on the date the application was filed. The tenancy is terminated. See section 55(1)(a) Residential Tenancies Act 1986.
The landlord provided rent records which prove the amount owing.
A report from an inspection undertaken on 24 April 2025 suggests that the premises are neither inhabited nor inhabitable. The landlord’s evidence is that regular visits to the premises since then, show that is still the case.
That being so, immediate termination is appropriate.
