Rent arrears

Order

The tenancy of Siaosi George Lee, Christina Lee at 60 Clover Drive, Massey, Auckland 0610 is terminated, and possession is granted to Kāinga Ora–Homes and Communities, at 11.59pm on 11 May 2026.
Siaosi George Lee, Christina Lee must pay Kāinga Ora–Homes and Communities $4,909.86 immediately, calculated as shown in the table below:

Reasons

Only the landlord, represented by Ms Maturan-Abuid, attended the hearing, which was conducted by videoconference. The tenants did not join the video meeting at the scheduled time, either by video or telephone. The start of the hearing was delayed, but the tenants still did not attend. Two telephone calls to the tenants went to voicemail. As the tenants have been notified, the hearing proceeded.
This tenancy began on 30 August 2022. The landlord has applied for termination of the tenancy and rent arrears. There is no bond.

Should the tenancy be terminated?

The landlord requested a conditional termination order. However, as explained at the hearing, in the absence of the tenants, I have declined this request. When determining whether to grant a conditional termination order, the Tribunal needs to consider whether the requirements under section 55(1A) of the Residential Tenancies Act 1986 (the RTA) are met. This requires the Tribunal to be satisfied that the tenants will pay the arrears within the period specified, and that it is unlikely they will commit any further relevant breach. As the tenants have not attended the hearing, the Tribunal is unable to seek evidence from them regarding these requirements.
Therefore, the Tribunal must consider termination of the tenancy in accordance with section 55(1)(a) of the RTA. I am satisfied that the landlord has established the grounds for termination of the tenancy under this provision. Rent was at least 21 days in arrears on the date the application was filed. At the date of the hearing, rent was well over 21 days in arrears. The landlord provided rent records and oral evidence in support.
Accordingly, the tenancy is terminated under section 55(1)(a) of the RTA.
The landlord’s rent records prove the amount owing at the date of the hearing. The landlord agrees to allow the tenants to remain in possession for an additional two weeks, until 11 May 2026, so the tenancy will end on this date. The tenants will be liable for rent up to this date, as noted in the table above. Filing fee and name suppression
While successful, the landlord does not seek the filing fee or name suppression.
