Order

The tenancy of Casino Arthur Murupainga Panoho at 29 Matthews Road, Flat Bush, Auckland 2019 is terminated, and possession is granted to Barfoot & Thompson Limited as agent for Rekha Singh, immediately.
Casino Arthur Murupainga Panoho must pay Barfoot & Thompson Limited as agent for Rekha Singh $1,501.24 immediately, as calculated below:
The Bond Centre is to pay the bond of $3,240.00 (5152419-009) to Barfoot & Thompson Limited as agent for Rekha Singh immediately.

Reasons

The landlord’s representative attended the hearing. The tenant did not attend.
The landlord has applied for termination of the tenancy for abandonment, rent arrears, water rates, the filing fee, 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. See 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 29 April 2025 the landlord became aware that the tenant had abandoned the premises. A routine inspection was conducted. The tenant had removed most of his possession and the remaining items appeared to be packed and ready to be taken.
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 which prove the amount of rent owing at the date the landlord discovered the tenancy abandoned. The tenant is liable for an additional 3 weeks’ rent in lieu of notice because the tenancy was a periodic tenancy. The amount ordered for rent arrears includes rent in lieu of notice.
The landlord correctly applied for a possession order. While rent beyond the 3- week rent in lieu of notice period cannot be awarded in this case, that is not the result of any lack of action by the landlord who made the application promptly.
As the application is successful, the tenant must pay the landlord’s Tribunal filing fee.
