Reasons

The Landlord seeks orders to recover rent arrears, terminate the tenancy and grant possession to it.

The Tenants did not attend the hearing despite receiving a Notice of Hearing notifying them of the time and date of the hearing. I also called the Tenants at the start of the hearing. They did not answer.

The Landlord says that the Tenants have abandoned the premises, and have provided photographs, which it says prove that the Tenants have moved out. I do not need to determine whether the premises are abandoned. That is because, for the reasons set out below, the Landlord is entitled to the orders it seeks due to significant rent arrears. The rent arrears

The Landlord has produced the tenancy agreement, the rent ledger and a rent summary. Those documents show: (a)The tenancy started on 16 January 2026. (b)The rent was $895 per week. (c)The Tenants paid a bond of $3,580. (d)The last rent payment was made on 16 May 2026. (e)The Tenants have missed all rent payments since, and now owe $5,114.29 in unpaid rent, as at today’s date – five weeks and five days’ worth of rent.

I accept that evidence and find that the Tenants owes the Landlord $5,114.29 in rent arrears. Termination and possession

Because the rent is in arrears by at least 21 days, I must make an order terminating the tenancy. 1 I see no basis for making this order conditional. 2 I cannot be satisfied that the Tenants will promptly remedy this breach or that a similar breach will not occur in the future.

I order that the tenancy is terminated under section 55(1)(a) of the Residential Tenancies Act 1986 effective immediately. Possession is also granted to the Landlord. 3 Filing fee and name suppression

The Landlord has been successful in its claim. It is entitled to recover the filing fee of $28. I also order that the Landlord’s name and identifying details are suppressed. Bond 1 Residential Tenancies Act 1986, section 55(1)(a). 2 Under section 55(1A) of the Residential Tenancies Act 1986, I can make a termination order conditional, but only if I am satisfied that the tenant will pay the rent within a specified time and that it is unlikely that the tenant will fail to pay the rent in the future. 3 Residential Tenancies Act 1986, section 64(3) - a termination order under section 55 has the effect of a possession order granting possession of the premises to the landlord.

The Bond Centre is to pay the bond of $3,580 to the Landlord.
