The tenancy of Harish Erragokula and Dhana Sri Thesu Srinivasan at Unit/Flat 5, 148 Lincoln Road, Henderson, Auckland 0610 is terminated, and possession is granted to 3B2 Enterprises Limited as agent for Chaelvin Amador immediately.
The Bond Centre is to pay the bond of $2,000.00 (BN-25089110) to 3B2 Enterprises Limited As Agent For Chaelvin Amador immediately.
Harish Erragokula and Dhana Sri Thesu Srinivasan must pay 3B2 Enterprises Limited as agent for Chaelvin Amador $956.57 immediately, calculated as shown in the table below:

Reasons

Only the landlord attended the hearing, represented by Navi Sandhu.
I am satisfied that the tenants have been served with the landlord’s application in accordance with the provisions of the Residential Tenancies Act 1986 and so the hearing proceeded in the tenants’ absence.
This was a fixed term tenancy that began on 8 January 2026 and was to expire on 8 July 2026.
The landlord has applied for termination of the tenancy for abandonment, rent arrears and refund of the bond.

Should the tenancy be terminated?

The Tribunal may terminate the tenancy where the premises have been abandoned and rent is in arrear at the hearing date. See section 61 Residential Tenancies Act 1986.
A tenancy is abandoned where the tenant leaves the premises without reasonable excuse, not intending to return or to meet their obligations, and fails to notify the landlord.
On 20 April 2026 the landlord sent an email to the tenants reminding them that the rent and water payment were overdue.
The tenants responded on 22 April 2026 to say that due to an unexpected medical emergency they had to urgently relocate to India. They said that they are not currently in a position to continue paying rent in New Zealand.
The landlord has received no further communication from the tenants despite sending follow up emails.
The landlord has been to inspect the property and has found that the tenants have taken most of their belongings with them. The landlord produced photos of the property in evidence.
Because the premises have been abandoned, and rent is in arrear, the tenancy is terminated immediately.

How much do the tenants owe?

The landlord provided rent records which prove the amount owing at the end of the tenancy, in the amount of $2,928.57. Filing fee
Because 3B2 Enterprises Limited as agent for Chaelvin Amador has wholly succeeded with the claim I must reimburse the filing fee.
