Order
- The tenancy of Erica Savage at 7 Surrey Grove, Parkvale, Tauranga 3112 is terminated, and possession is granted to Accessible Properties New Zealand Limited, at 11:59pm on Sunday 17 May 2026.
- The Bond Centre is to pay the bond of $488.00 (5243484-004) to Accessible Properties New Zealand Limited immediately.
- Erica Savage owes Accessible Properties New Zealand Limited $4,821.05 (“the debt”) as follows:
- Until termination, Erica Savage must pay Accessible Properties New Zealand Limited: a. $216.00 rent for the rent week 4 May 2026 to 10 May 2026, no later than Wednesday 6 May 2026; and b. $216.00 rent for the rent week 11 May 2026 to 17 May 2026 no later than Wednesday 13 May 2026.
- If either of the weekly rent payments required by Order 4 are not paid when due, the tenancy at 7 Surrey Grove, Parkvale, Tauranga 3112 will terminate and the landlord will have immediate possession of the premises.
Reasons
- Both parties attended the hearing with was held by video/ teleconference.
- The landlord has applied for termination of the tenancy, rent arrears and refund of the bond.
- Rent was at least 21 days in arrears on the date the application was filed. No rent has been paid since 16 January 2026 and significant water charges are owed.
- The tenancy is terminated. The evidence does not show circumstances to suggest that a conditional termination should be made instead.
- The landlord agrees that termination can be delayed to the end of the next rent week, on condition that rent is paid in the meantime so the arrears don’t increase.
- The landlord provided rent and water charge records which prove the amount owing at the end of the tenancy.
- Because Accessible Properties New Zealand Limited has succeeded with the claim I must reimburse the filing fee.
- The tenant prefers that a suppression Order be made. The landlord does not object, but in these circumstances, with no rent or water charges having been paid for such a long time, to the grounds for ordering suppression of the tenant’s details are not established. 1
