Filing Fee

Order

The tenancy of Leo Rangianoa John Simeon at Unit/Flat 7, 24 Te Arahori Street, Turangi, Turangi 3334 is terminated, and possession is granted to Property Brokers Limited As Agent For Andrew Hocken, immediately.
The Bond Centre is to pay the bond of $1,355.00 (BN-00068055) to Property Brokers Limited As Agent For Andrew Hocken immediately and HOLD the balance of $125.00, calculated as shown in the table below:

Reasons

The landlord attended the hearing. The tenant was properly served but he did not attend the hearing.
The landlord has applied for termination of the tenancy for abandonment, rent arrears and refund of the bond.

Should the tenancy be terminated?

The Tribunal may terminate the tenancy where the premises have been abandoned and rent is in arrear at the hearing date. See section 61 Residential Tenancies Act 1986 (RTA).
A tenancy is abandoned where the tenant leaves the premises without reasonable excuse, not intending to return or to meet their obligations, and fails to notify the landlord.
On 19 December 2025 the landlord became aware (or ought to have been aware) that the tenant had abandoned the premises. This was the day she inspected the tenancy premises. Earlier in December she spoke with neighbours, family and a budgeting service but none could confirm that the tenant had moved out. The landlord has provided me with copies of emails and her the inspection. She said nothing has changed since she inspected and rent is now many weeks in arrears. Taken together it seems most likely to me the tenancy has been abandoned.
Because the premises have been abandoned, and rent is in arrear, the tenancy is terminated immediately.

How much does the tenant owe?

The landlord provided rent records which prove the amount owing at the end of the tenancy. The amount ordered includes rent in lieu of notice. Other orders
Because the landlord has substantially succeeded with the claim I have reimbursed the filing fee.
