Filing Fee Rent arrears

Order

Waimarie Thompson owes [The landlord/s] $819.44 (“the debt”) in accordance with the following table:
Waimarie Thompson must pay rent and the debt as follows: a. By weekly payments of $799.00, for rent on or before each Friday with the next payment falling due on 22 December 2023. b. A payment of $819.44 for the debt on or before 3 January 2023.
Payments will be allocated in the following order: rent, rent arrears, and the filing fee.
If the tenant fails to pay rent arrears within 2 working days of 3 January 2023: a. The tenancy at 71 Karamu Crescent, Wainuiomata, Lower Hutt 5014 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

[redacted] representing the landlord attended the hearing. Ms Thompson was telephoned several times however her phone was switched off. She has been served with the notice of hearing; accordingly it went ahead in her absence.
The landlord initially applied for termination of the tenancy based on rent arrears. However, as substantial payments towards the arrears have been paid, the landlord now seeks a conditional termination for the remainder of the debt.
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.
I am satisfied that the order sought is appropriate as Ms Thompson was in more than 21 days arrears when the application was made and is still one week behind in rent. I have granted a conditional termination order.
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 successful in their claim, I must refund the application fee and approve their application for suppression.
