Order

The tenancy of Nathan Bernard Nolan at Room 3, Unit/Flat 47, 31 Poulson Street, Addington, Christchurch 8024 is terminated, and possession is granted to Progressive Realty Limited As Agent For The Lowe Family Trust, at 11.59 pm on Tuesday 19 August 2025.

The Bond Centre is to pay the bond of $1,000.00 to Progressive Realty Limited As Agent For The Lowe Family Trust immediately.

Reasons

The landlord attended the hearing which was held by teleconference. The tenant did not attend. The tenant was contacted on the contact number provided in the application but without success. I am satisfied that adequate service of the hearing notice has been completed and proceeded with the hearing in the tenant’s absence.
The landlord has applied for termination of the tenancy for breach of the tenant’s obligations, rent arrears and refund of the bond.

Should the tenancy be terminated?

Where a landlord applies to terminate for breach, and rent is at least 21 days in arrears on the hearing date, the Tribunal must terminate the tenancy. See sections 55 and 56(2) Residential Tenancies Act 1986.
Rent is at least 21 days in arrears at the hearing date. The tenancy is terminated.
The landlord has also claimed abandonment under section 61. While the landlord’s evidence suggests the tenant may have vacated, it is not strictly necessary to make findings under section 61 because sufficient grounds for termination have already been established under sections 55 and 56(2).

How much does the tenant owe?

The landlord provided rent records which prove the amount owing.
No evidence has been presented by the tenant to show further payments or to contradict the landlord’s evidence. Accordingly, I am satisfied that rent arrears are owing, as ordered above.
As the landlord has wholly succeeded with the claim, I must order the tenant to reimburse the filing fee.
