Order

[The tenant/s] to pay [The landlord/s] $414.73 (the debt), calculated as shown in table below:
The tenants must pay the debt in order 1 at the rate of $50 per week.
The first payment must be made with rent of $580 on or before Tuesday 26 March 2024 and payments must continue on or before every Tuesday until the debt is paid in full.
If the tenants fail to make any payment within 2 working days of the due date, the balance of the debt owing will be payable immediately and can be enforced through the District Court.

Reasons

Both parties attended the hearing.
The landlord has applied for termination of the tenancy for breach of the tenant’s obligations and repayment of the rent arrears.
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. See section 56(1) Residential Tenancies Act 1986.
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.
The tenants have breached their obligations by failing to pay rent in accordance with their tenancy agreement. The landlord served a 14-day notice on the tenants on 9 February and the tenants did not remedy the breach within the required period.
Despite this breach I find it would be inequitable to refuse to terminate the tenancy because the tenants have caught up with their arrears and have given evidence that they are in a better financial situation now. They assure Mr Reed that the same situation will not occur again. They say they will ensure their rental payments are made each Tuesday and have committed to paying an extra $50 per week to deal with the arrears incurred over this last week.
Accordingly, I dismiss the application for termination however make a conditional order for the repayment of the arrears by consent.
Because [The applicant/s] has substantially succeeded with the claim I have reimbursed the filing fee.
Both parties have consented to this order, accordingly I direct that all identifying details are suppressed from the published order.
