[The tenant/s] must pay Contact Property Management Limited $1,870.44 immediately, calculated as shown in the table below:

Reasons

There are two current landlord applications seeking termination of this tenancy.
This application, filed on 14 April 2024, seeks termination for rent arrears.
The hearing took place in Whangarei on 10 May 2024. Both parties attended the hearing.
Mr O’Connor provided a rent record showing rent arrears of $1,550.00 on the date that the application was filed, and arrears of $1,850.00 as at the hearing date.
The Tenancy Tribunal “shall make an order terminating the tenancy” if, on the date that the landlord files an application seeking termination, the rent was more than 21-days in arrears 1 .
The Tribunal may refuse to make an order termination the tenancy if 2 : a. “The breach has been remedied, if it is capable of being remedied”; and b. The landlord has been compensated for any loss arising from the breach; and c. It is unlikely that the tenant will commit any further breaches.
The rent for this tenancy is $350.00 per week.
At the date of hearing, the rent arrears breach had not been remedied. The rent record shows that Ms Dacombe-Terry has paid the weekly rent for the last three weeks but has not made any payments towards the arrears.
At the hearing Ms Dacombe-Terry stated that she was willing and able to pay the arrears in a lump sum, and that she could make the payment that day.
Mr O’Connor submitted that Ms Dacombe-Terry’s rent payments have been “patchy” since the beginning of the tenancy in January. The rent record supports that submission.
My finding is that the landlord is entitled to an order for termination on the grounds that: a. The rent was more than 21-days in arrears on the date that this application was filed. b. The breach was not remedied by the time that the application was heard. c. The tenant’s pattern of unreliable payments during this brief tenancy means that there is no reasonable basis to be confident that the tenant will not fall into rent arrears again. d. The rent arrears are substantial.
The tenancy will terminate at 12.00 noon on Monday 20 May 2024.
The landlord has been successful in this application, and I must also award the landlord the filing fee of $20.44 3 . 1 Section 55(1)(a) Residential Tenancies Act 1986 (“RTA”) 2 Section 55(2) RTA 3 Section 102(4)(a) RTA
The bond will remain with the Bond Centre until the end of the tenancy.
