Order

An application for suppression has been made in this case, and the Tribunal orders suppression of the Landlord name and identifying details.
Neil Wharerau owes [The landlord/s] $4,443.81 (“the debt”) as shown in the table below: DescriptionLandlord Rent arrears$4,423.37 Filing fee reimbursement$20.44 Total award$4,443.81 Total payable by Tenant to Landlord$4,443.81
Neil Wharerau must pay rent and the debt as follows: a. By 222 weekly payments of $500.00, being $480.00 for rent and $20.00 for the debt. b. A final payment of $483.81, being $480.00 for rent and $3.81 for the debt. c. Payments will be every Thursday, with the first payment on 24/08/2023 and continuing until 25/11/2027.
Payments will be allocated in the following order: rent, rent arrears, and the filing fee.
If the tenant fails to pay rent and rent arrears within 2 working days of the due dates: a. The tenancy at [Tenancy address suppressed] will terminate and the landlord will have immediate possession of the premises. b. The balance of the debt will be payable immediately.
If the tenant fails to pay the filing fee within 2 working days of the due date, the filing fee will be payable immediately.

Reasons

Both parties attended the hearing which was held by telephone.
The landlord has applied for termination of the tenancy, rent arrears and refund of the bond. The tenant wants to repay the debt to avoid immediate termination.

Should a conditional termination order be made?

Where rent is at least 21 days in arrears on the date the application was filed, the Tribunal must make either a final or a conditional termination order. See section 55(1)(a) and (1A) Residential Tenancies Act 1986.
The parties discussed the arrears and how they had arisen at the hearing. The tenant had not been aware that a redirection to the landlord was not being made until last week. The parties agreed to a repayment plan as set out in Order 3 above.
The conditional termination order will lapse if it is fully complied with. If the tenant breaches the order, the possession order may be enforced for 90 days from the first breach. See section 64(4)(b) Residential Tenancies Act 1986.
As the landlord was the successful party, I have awarded reimbursement of the filing fee and granted its request for suppression of its details.
