Order

[The tenant/s] owes [The landlord/s] $3,490.23 (“the debt”), calculated in the table below:
[The tenant/s] must pay rent and the debt as follows: a. By weekly payments of $240.00, being $152.00 for normal rent, $73.00 towards rent arrears and $5.00 towards unpaid water rates and tenant damage. b. Payments will be every Wednesday, with the next payment due on 17/- 7/2024 and continuing until the debt is paid in full.
Payments will be allocated in the following order: rent, rent arrears, water rates, tenant damage and the filing fee.
If the tenant fails to pay rent, rent arrears, water rates and the tenant damage 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 fails to pay the filing fee within 2 working days of the due date, the filing fee will be payable immediately.

Reasons

The landlord attended the hearing which was held by teleconference. The Tribunal was unable to contact the tenant on the number provided in the application. I proceeded with the hearing in the tenant’s absence as I was satisfied adequate service of the hearing notice had been completed.
The landlord has applied for termination of the tenancy, rent arrears, water rates, and compensation for tenant damage. The tenant wants to repay the debt to avoid immediate termination.

Should a conditional termination order be made?

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.
The landlord advised that the tenant has arranged a payment plan through WINZ and a redirection of payments is now in place. WINZ has made payment of $608.00 on 19/06/2024, and three payments of $240.00 on 26/06/2024, 03/07/2024, and 10/07/2024. Although the tenant did not attend the hearing, I consider it reasonable to grant 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 has wholly succeeded with the claim, I must order the other party to reimburse the filing fee and grant suppression of the landlord’s name and identifying details.
