Order
- The tenancy of Eruera Piwari at 44B Hammond Street, Hairini, Tauranga 3112 is terminated, and possession is granted to Eves Realty Limited As Agent For David Johnston, at 11.59 pm, Sunday, 29 March 2026.
- The Bond Centre is to pay the bond of $2,440.00 (3008091-011) to Eves Realty Limited As Agent For David Johnston immediately.
- Eruera Piwari must pay Eves Realty Limited As Agent For David Johnston $344.46 immediately, calculated as shown in the table below:
Reasons
- The hearing was conducted via video conference.
- Ms Vos, the property manager, appeared at the hearing on behalf of the landlord via video conference.
- Mr Piwari, the tenant, appeared at the hearing via teleconference.
- The landlord applies for termination of the tenancy, payment of rent arrears, reimbursement of water rates, and refund of the bond.
- The landlord has provided rent records and water invoices evidencing the amount owing.
- Ms Vos advised during the hearing that, by consent, Mr Piwari will vacate the premises on Sunday, 29 March 2026.
- At the time the application was filed, the rent was in arrears by at least 21 days. However, in light of the agreement reached between the parties, I will record the termination in accordance with that agreement, rather than invoking my jurisdiction to terminate the tenancy under section 55(1)(a) of the Residential Tenancies Act 1986. Filing fee
- Because Eves Realty Limited As Agent For David Johnston has wholly succeeded with the application, I must reimburse the filing fee.
