Filing Fee Rent arrears

Order

The tenancy of Shannon Paul Clark at 54 Devery Road, Merrivale, 2, Otautau 9682 is terminated, and possession is granted to Jason Hutchby, at 5pm Tuesday 3 June 2025.
Shannon Paul Clark is to pay the sum of $3,048.43 to Jason Hutchby immediately as outlined in the table below.
The application filed by Mr Clark is dismissed.

Reasons

Mr Clark failed to attend the hearing. Mr Hutchby appeared in person together with his wife.
Before me today is a cross application. Mr Hutchby filed for termination of the tenancy and the following day Mr Clark filed for compensation for the driveway.
Mr Clark did not attend the hearing at the scheduled time, request an adjournment, or notify the Tribunal the matter has settled. See sections 78(1)(i) and 92(1) Residential Tenancies Act 1986 in relation to his claim.
Therefore, I am required to dismiss his application and do so accordingly.
The landlord, Mr Hutchby has applied for termination of the tenancy and rent arrears.
The background to this case is that Mr Clark commenced employment with Mr Hutchby on a farm on the 2 August 2024. However, Mr Clark was unable to work from the 1 November 2024. His employment eventually came to an end on 8 May 2025 following a restructure. Given he was not going to return to work his tenancy also came to an end. However, Mr Clark has refused to vacate the property and continues to reside in the home.
Mr Clark was advised that his rent was increasing given he was refusing to leave and given he was no longer working he was no longer eligible for the low cost of the rent. Whilst it appears that the tenant vacated on the 26 May there is still belongs and a clean up required of the property. The landlord correctly applied to the Tribunal to terminate.
On the evidence submitted I am satisfied that the rent was at least 21 days in arrears on the date the application was filed. The tenancy is therefore terminated immediately. See section 55(1)(a) Residential Tenancies Act 1986.
I am satisfied that the amount owing at the end of the tenancy.
Because Mr Hutchby has wholly succeeded with the claim I must reimburse the filing fee.
