Order
- Moza Humaid Alwahshi must pay Bayleys Property Management - Waikato $2,149.43 immediately, calculated as in the table below.
- The Bond Centre is to pay the bond of $1,080.00 (BN-00065977) to Bayleys Property Management - Waikato immediately.
Reasons
- The landlord’s representative attended the hearing. The tenant did not attend. I continued in their absence as they have been sent email notice of the hearing date and time. The landlord advises that the tenant’s phone is disconnected.
- The landlord has applied for compensation for rent owing under the terms of this fixed term tenancy.
- The term of the tenancy was from 26 March 2025 to 24 March 2026.
- The tenancy agreement says the tenant must continue to pay rent “until the tenancy is terminated”.
- The landlord says the tenant asked to be released from the term of the tenancy early. An ‘agreement for early termination of a fixed term tenancy’ signed by the tenant on 3 November 2025 has been provided in evidence. This states that the tenant agrees “to pay rent to the agreed termination date, yet to be determined”.
- The landlord gave oral evidence that this tenant moved out in about November 2023 and that a suitable new tenant was found from 24 February 2026.
- The landlord confirms that the “agreed termination date” for this tenancy is 23 February 2026.
- The landlord provided rent records which prove the amount owing in rent to the agreed termination date is $3,201.43. I award this amount.
- The landlord’s claim is successful, so I award the filing fee.
- The bond is refunded to the landlord and the balance is payable by the tenant.
