Order

[The tenant/s] must pay [The landlord/s] $5,432.44 as calculated in the schedule below no later than 7 days from the date of this order.
This matter is determined as indicated by the orders above, but the landlord is granted a period of one month within which, if payment of the amount in order 2 is not made by the due date, they can request that the application be brought back before the Tribunal and the matter will be re-opened.

Reasons

Both parties attended the hearing. The tenant was assisted at the hearing by a social worker from ChangeMakers Resettlement Forum.
The landlord has applied for termination of the tenancy and an order for rent arrears and has provided rent records which prove the amount owing.
The tenant has produced written confirmation from MSD that it will pay the rent arrears owed in full subject to receiving a final breakdown of the arrears.
In the circumstances, I am making an order for the rent arrears with a direction that it be paid no later than 7 days from the date of this order. If it is not so paid, the landlord is granted leave to request that the matter be re-opened and brought back to the Tribunal. In that case, the Tribunal would consider making a conditional or final termination order. See section 55 Residential Tenancies Act 1986.
As the landlord has substantially succeeded with their application, they are entitled to a suppression order, as requested in their application, and to reimbursement of the filing fee.
I am also supressing publication of the tenant’s names and identifying details. There are circumstances regarding his physical and mental well-being that were discussed at the hearing, and which have played a part in the arrears situation he finds himself in. I consider that it would be detrimental to his general health and well-being if his identity was published, and it would not be in the public interest.
