Order
- The tenancy of Mukhtar Qasim at 3 Bledisloe Terrace, Hamilton East, Hamilton 3216 is terminated, and possession is granted to Kāinga Ora–Homes and Communities immediately.
- Mukhtar Qasim must pay Kāinga Ora–Homes and Communities $624.28 immediately being rent arrears to today’s date.
Reasons
- Only the landlord attended the hearing, represented by Karen Thompson-Wise.
- This is a social housing tenancy that began on 8 November 2024. Rent is currently $90.00 per week.
- The landlord has issued various 14-day notices due to the condition of the property (19 November 2025), non-occupation (12 February 2026) and rent arrears (3 March 2026).
- The landlord explained that the tenant was arrested in February 2026 and is now in custody on remand. The tenant is no longer living in the property as required pursuant to clause 14 of the tenancy agreement.
- The landlord has applied for termination of the tenancy and rent arrears.
- Rent was at least 21 days in arrears on the date the application was filed and was 48 days in arrears at the date of the hearing today. The tenancy is terminated. See section 55(1)(a) Residential Tenancies Act 1986.
- The landlord provided rent records which prove the amount owing at the end of the tenancy.
- The tenant is no longer living in the property and it appears that it is being targeted by vagrants. Possession is therefore granted to the landlord immediately.
