Reasons
- Only the applicant landlord attended the hearing which took place by videoconference. The tenant did not attend the hearing, so the Tribunal did not hear their response to the claims.
- The landlord has applied for termination of the tenancy for breach of the tenant’s obligations, rent arrears and refund of the bond.
Should the tenancy be terminated?
- Where a landlord applies to terminate for breach, and rent is at least 21 days in arrears on the hearing date, the Tribunal must terminate the tenancy. See sections 55 and 56(2) Residential Tenancies Act 1986.
- Rent is at least 21 days in arrears at the hearing date. The rent arrears have increased since the application was filed. The landlord seeks immediate termination. The tenancy is terminated.
How much does the tenant owe?
- The landlord sought rent arrears of $4172.28 and provided a rent summary.
- The rent summary records the amount of $4172.28 as the rent due to the end of the current rent week which is 27 April 2026.
- The amount of rent due to today’s date is calculated from the rent summary as rent arrears to 20 April 2026 of $3732.28 plus one day’s rent for 21 April 2026 of $62.85. The total of $3795.13 is ordered for rent arrears to today’s date. Filing fee
- Because Barfoot & Thompson Limited - Swanson As Agent For Nancy Fong- Anae has substantially succeeded with the claim I have reimbursed the filing fee.
