Filing Fee Rent arrears

Order

An application for suppression has been made in this case, and the Tribunal orders suppression of the Landlord’s name and identifying details.
Ngaire Wickham must pay [the Landlord] $1,300.44 immediately, calculated as set out in the table below.
If Ngaire Wickham fails to pay the Landlord $1,300.44 within 2 working days from the date of this order, the full amount of the remaining rent arrears will fall due immediately, her tenancy will terminate and possession will be granted to the Landlord.

Reasons

The landlord attended the hearing. The tenant did not.
I am satisfied that the tenant had received proper notice of the hearing time, date and place and chose not to attend.
The landlord has applied for termination of the tenancy, rent arrears and refund of the bond. The landlord wants to give the tenant 2 days to repay the debt to avoid immediate termination.

Should a conditional termination order be made?

The Tribunal may terminate a tenancy for breach where, due to the nature or extent of the breach, it would be inequitable to refuse to terminate. Where the breach is capable of remedy the landlord must first serve a notice on the tenant requiring them to remedy the breach within at least 14 days, and establish that the tenant has failed to do so. See section 56(1) Residential Tenancies Act 1986.
The tenant breached their obligations by failing to pay rent due on time. On 8 February 2024 the landlord served a 14-day notice on the tenant but the breach was not remedied within the required period. It would be inequitable to refuse to terminate the tenancy when the rent was more than 21 days in arrears at the time the landlord made the application to the Tribunal and the rent was still in arrears as at the date of this hearing.
Despite my finding that it would be inequitable to refuse to terminate the tenancy, having heard the evidence I am satisfied the tenant will pay the debt within the period specified in the order and is unlikely to commit any further breach. I have granted a conditional termination. See section 78(3) Residential Tenancies Act 1986.
The conditional termination order will lapse if it is fully complied with. If the tenant breaches the order, the possession order is enforceable for 90 days from the first breach. See section 64(4)(b) Residential Tenancies Act 1986. Reimbursement of filing fee
Because the Landlord has wholly succeeded with the claim, I must reimburse the filing fee.
