Hi
I am a New Zealand lawyer based in Wellington and will help you with your question today. Please give me a minute to read the question

I assume that this is a commercial tenancy – is this correct?

Have you considered re-entry into the premises as your remedy? Otherwise you would need to make an application to court for an order evicting the tenant

This would mean an originating application to the local district court. That would give you an order for possession. You could also proceed by summary judgement, which may have advantages in that you could claim for the arrears of rental and for an order for possession. Unless you are familiar with drafting court applications you are probably better to instruct a lawyer.
