Order

The tenancy of Fraser James Moncrieff Pope at 68A Buchanan Street, Opotiki, Opotiki 3122 is terminated, and possession is granted to Chris Donkin and Joanne Donkin, immediately.

Fraser James Moncrieff Pope must pay Chris Donkin and Joanne Donkin $27.00 immediately, being the filing fee on this application

The Bond Centre is to pay the bond of $1,560.00 (BN-00012587) to Chris Donkin and Joanne Donkin immediately.

Reasons

The landlords attended the hearing represented by Mr Donkin. The tenant was unable to be contacted on the numbers specified in the Notice of Hearing, which was duly served.

The landlords have applied for termination of the tenancy, rent arrears, compensation and refund of the bond.

Today was allocated as a preliminary hearing to consider the landlords’ application for termination of the tenancy.

Should the tenancy be terminated?

The Tribunal may terminate a tenancy for breach where, due to the nature or extent of the breach, it would be inequitable to refuse to terminate. See section 56(1) Residential Tenancies Act 1986.

Photographs provide by the landlords prove that serious damage has been caused to the premises. I am satisfied that the damage was caused during the tenancy. Many windows are shown to be broken, holes are shown in walls and the premises are in not kept in reasonable condition.

That damage provides grounds for termination of the tenancy under s.55(1)(b) RTA. In addition, the landlords have issued the tenant with 14 day breach notices under s.56 RTA. The tenant has not remedied the breaches in terms of those notices. It would be unfair to the landlord not to make an Order terminating the tenancy.

The landlord has provided a repair quote which proves that the cost to repair the damage shown in the photographs will significantly exceed the amount of the bond. The landlord’s evidence is that since those photographs were taken, much more damage has been caused and yesterday police help was required to secure and board up the premises.

As there is no certainty about when the landlords will have the information necessary to quantify their compensation claims, it is appropriate that the current application be determined by this Order. The landlord can then bring any claim for rent arrears and/ or compensation, when that information is to hand.

Because Chris and Joanne Donkin have succeeded with the claim I must reimburse the filing fee.
