Reasons

Mr Harrington represented the landlord at the hearing.
Ms Bennett did not attend and did not answer the calls made to her phone during the hearing. She had been notified of the hearing by email and text, accordingly pursuant to section 92 of the Residential Tenancies Act 1986 (RTA) the hearing continued in her absence.
The landlord has applied for termination of the tenancy, rent arrears and refund of the bond. The claim was initially heard on 23 May. Ms Bennett did not attend the scheduled video conference at that time but did answer the second call to her phone. She sought an adjournment for health reasons.
In providing Ms Bennett with the benefit of the doubt, I approved the adjournment on the condition she file evidence of her difficulties. She did not.
Mr Harrington advises that the landlord has given Ms Bennett notice in accordance with section 51 of the RTA to end the tenancy today. He has also given evidence that rent was at least 21 days in arrears on the date the application was filed and remains so. Ms Bennett has not engaged with her landlord in any constructive way.
Accordingly, the tenancy is terminated pursuant to section 55(1)(a) of the RTA at the end of today. The bond is to be paid to the landlord in part-payment of the debt.
Because Auckland Property Management Limited As Agent For Nicola Faulkner has wholly succeeded with the claim I must reimburse the filing fee.
