Reasons

Both parties attended the hearing which was held by telephone.

The landlord has applied for rent arrears and has provided rent records which prove the amount owing.

The rent owing to the end of the last rent cycle (on Sunday 20 August 2023) was $256.15. The tenant understood and accepted that rent arrears was approximately $260.00 and proposed a payment plan of $450 per week being $440 for current rent and $10 for the arrears. The tenant has adopted that payment plan, without the landlord’s agreement for the last few weeks. The tenant can pay on a Wednesday.

The rent cycle is from Monday to Sunday. If payments are being made on Wednesday, the rent arrears debt needs to reflect that. The landlord provided a rent summary which establishes that the amount owing to today is $381.86. That amount needs to be paid to the landlord, along with current weekly rent of $440.

Having heard from the parties, I have made an order for payment over time, with the payments due each Wednesday, as recorded in paragraph 3 above.

For completeness, I record that the landlord had applied for termination of the tenancy, but at the hearing today confirmed that the only order being sought was payment of the arrears. The level of rent outstanding would not have satisfied me that a termination order was appropriate in any event.

As the landlord was the successful party, I have awarded reimbursement of the filing fee and granted its request for suppression of its details.
