Order
- The tenancy of Breeze Marie Arano at 69C Church Road, Kaitaia, Kaitaia 0410 is terminated, and possession is granted to Kāinga Ora–Homes And Communities, immediately.
- Breeze Marie Arano must pay Kāinga Ora–Homes And Communities $1,166.58 immediately, calculated as shown in the table below
Reasons
- The landlord attended the hearing on 18 May 2026. The tenant did not.
- The landlord has applied for termination of the tenancy and rent arrears.
- As the applicant, the landlord must prove their claim to the civil law standard of proof, on the balance of probabilities.
Should the tenancy be terminated?
- The landlord filed their application on 25 February 2026. Rent arrears were $252.86 (22 days) on this date. Because rent was at least 21 days in arrears on the date the application was filed, the tenancy is terminated.
- The termination is immediate, rather than conditional. Rent arrears are $1,166.58 (104 days) at the date of the hearing. The tenant has not made any payments since 21 January 2026. Therefore, I am not satisfied that they will pay the rent and arrears within a specified timeframe or refrain from committing a further relevant breach in the future.
How much does the tenant owe in rent arrears?
- The landlord submitted a rent summary, which proves the tenant owes $1,166.58 in rent arrears up to 18 May 2026. Filing fee
- The landlord did not seek reimbursement of the filing fee.
