Reasons

The hearing proceeded by way of video conference. Ms Gould appeared for the landlord. Mr Stock did not appear by video link and an unsuccessful attempt was made to join him to the hearing by telephone. The Tribunal was satisfied that the tenant was properly served with the notice of hearing and the case proceeded in their absence.

The tenancy commenced on 18 June 2024 and is periodic.

On 11 June 2025, the landlord filed an application with the Tribunal seeking termination of the tenancy for breach of the tenant’s obligations, rent arrears, and refund of the bond. Rent arrears

Section 55(1)(a) of the Residential Tenancies Act 1986 (the “Act”) states that the Tribunal shall make an order terminating the tenancy if the Tribunal is satisfied that the rent was, at the date on which the application was filed under s86, at least 21 days in arrears.

Section 56(1) of the Act states that the Tribunal may make an order terminating the tenancy if the Tribunal is satisfied that the other party has committed a breach of the tenancy agreement or the Act and, if the breach is capable of remedy, has failed to remedy it within a period to not less than 14 days.

Under section 56(2) of the Act, if an application is made under section 56(1) and, at the time of the hearing the rent was at least 21 days in arrears, the Tribunal shall determine the application as if it had been made under section 55(1) and (2) of the Act.

Should the tenancy be terminated?

The landlord provided up to date rent records which prove the amount owed.

On 4 June 2025, the landlord served a 14-day breach notice for rent arrears totalling $614.00. The notice expired on 20 June 2025 and was not remedied.

Rent was at least 21 days in arrears on the date the application was filed.

At the date of hearing the tenant’s arrears totalled $1154.57. The rent is more than 21 days in arrears. The tenancy is terminated.

The tenant has disengaged from working with agencies who previously helped him clear a portion of his rent arrears and regularise his rent payments (via an earlier conditional termination order). c. The landlord would like the tenant to reengage with these agencies.

Having considered the landlord’s submissions I am satisfied that it is appropriate to terminate the tenancy at midnight on Wednesday 23 July 2025. Costs
