Order

The tenancy of Bruce Tapu Heta at 4A Croft Terrace, Huntly, Waikato 3700 is terminated, and possession is granted to J D B Properties Limited, at 11:59pm on Wednesday 3 June 2026.
The Bond Centre is to pay J D B Properties Limited $808.29 from the bond of $1440.00 (5383992-011) immediately. The balance should remain held at the Bond Centre.
Bruce Tapu Heta must pay J D B Properties Limited $808.29 from the bond immediately, calculated below:

Reasons

The landlord attended the hearing by videoconference. The tenant didn’t attend and couldn’t be reached on the number given in the Notice of Hearing which was properly served.
The landlord has applied for termination of the tenancy for breach of the tenant’s obligations.

Should the tenancy be terminated?

The Tribunal may terminate a tenancy for breach where, due to the nature or extent of the breach, it would be inequitable to refuse to terminate. See section 56(1) Residential Tenancies Act 1986.
Where the breach is capable of remedy the landlord must first serve a notice on the tenant requiring them to remedy the breach within at least 14 days and establish that the tenant has failed to do so.
The tenant has breached his obligations by failing to pay the rent when due and not repaying the arrears.
The landlord has served a series of 14-day notices on the tenant. A copy of the notice dated 12 March 2026 has been provided. The tenant did not remedy the breach within the required period.
The arrears have continued for a long time with no apparent attempt on the tenant’s part to repay them. Mediation was unsuccessful in enabling a repayment arrangement to be agreed. For those reasons it would be inequitable to refuse to terminate the tenancy even though the amount of the arrears is modest.
The landlord has provided rent records proving the amount owed to the end of the tenancy. The amount ordered takes into account a rent payment made by the tenant on 27 May 2026.
I indicated to the landlord that if the tenant had appeared today and proposed a plan to clear the arrears, I would likely have considered a conditional termination Order instead. Because the tenant has not attended, that option is not really available.
Because J D B Properties Limited has succeeded with the claim I must reimburse the filing fee.
