Reasons
- A representative of the landlord attended the hearing.
- The tenant did not join by the video link or by the dial instruction provided in the Notice of Hearing.
- The landlord has applied for rent arrears and termination of the tenancy for breach of the tenant’s obligations.
- The landlord did not pursue the application for termination at the hearing. That was appropriate. The Tribunal may terminate a tenancy for breach where, due to the nature or extent of the breach, it would be inequitable to refuse to terminate. See section 56(1) Residential Tenancies Act 1986.
- Where the breach is capable of remedy the landlord must first serve a notice on the tenant requiring them to remedy the breach within at least 14 days and establish that the tenant has failed to do so.
- The tenant has breached their obligations by failing to pay rent when it falls due. The tenant has paid a lump sum towards arrears and is paying her current weekly rent when it falls due. There is a balance of $777.00 for rent arrears which must be paid.
- That amount is not enough to justify termination of the tenancy. However, the tenant is on notice that her tenancy is at risk, and may be terminated if she falls in to arrears again and the landlord has to make another application to the Tribunal. The current weekly rent of $440 is due tomorrow (and every Wednesday).
- As the landlord was the successful party, I have awarded reimbursement of the Tribunal application fee.
