Filing Fee Rent arrears

Order

[The tenant/s] owes [The landlord/s] $5,820.44 (“the debt”) in accordance with the following table:
[The tenant/s] must pay [The landlord/s] $3,500.44 by 28 December 2023.
[The tenant/s] must reinstate rent payments of $580 on or before every Monday with the next payment falling due 25 December 2023.
The Bond Centre is to pay the bond of $2,320.00 ([Bond number suppressed]) to [The landlord/s] immediately.
If [The tenant/s] does not 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/s] fails to pay the filing fee within 2 working days of the due date, the filing fee will be payable immediately.
Payments will be allocated in the following order: rent, rent arrears, and the filing fee.
The tenancy of [The tenant/s] at [Tenancy address suppressed] will otherwise terminate, and possession will revert to [The landlord/s], at 11:59pm on 31 January 2024, unless the tenancy terminates earlier in accordance with order 5.

Reasons

Both parties attended the hearing.
The landlord has applied for termination of the tenancy, rent arrears and refund of the bond.
Rent was at least 21 days in arrears on the date the application was filed and is well in excess of that today. Accordingly, the tenancy must be terminated. See section 55(1)(a) Residential Tenancies Act 1986.
However, given the impending Christmas season, the parties have agreed to a conditional termination order in the interim to continue the tenancy for a short time. I have therefore granted a short-term conditional termination order as well as a final termination order.
The situation has arisen because of difficult personal circumstances the tenant has faced, however he now has the assistance of Work and Income New Zealand (WINZ). He is therefore to take this order to WINZ to seek their help to pay this debt and allow him to continue his tenancy until the final termination date.
Because [The applicant/s] has wholly succeeded with the claim I must reimburse the filing fee.
Because part of this order was made by consent, it is appropriate to direct suppression of both parties’ identifying details from the published order.
