A final payment of $591.04, being $505.00 for rent and $86.04 for the debt. c. Payments will be every Tuesday, with the first payment on 27/08/2024 and continuing until 03/12/2024.
Payments will be allocated in the following order: rent, rent arrears, and the filing fee.
If the tenant fails to pay rent and rent arrears within 2 working days of the due dates: a. The tenancy at 93 Lake Ferry Road, Lake Ferry, RD 2, Featherston 5772 will terminate and the landlord will have immediate possession of the premises. b. The balance of the debt will be payable immediately.

Reasons

The landlord attended the hearing by video. The tenant did not attend the hearing. Attempts were made to join the tenant to the hearing by telephone, but the calls went to voicemail.
There were two earlier hearings for this application (6 June 2024 and 25 July 2024) and both the landlord and tenant had attended those hearings. Both hearings were adjourned to enable the landlord to file adequate rent summaries.
At today’s hearing the landlord did not file an up to date rent summary and the rent summary filed did not have totals for the amount due and the amount paid. It was directed that the landlord was to provide an adequate rent summary by midday, and this was complied with.
The landlord had applied for termination of the tenancy, rent arrears and refund of the bond. The tenant wanted to repay the debt to avoid immediate termination.
Since the first hearing the tenant has made weekly payments of $100.00 toward the debt. This is to continue until the above rent arrears are paid.

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.
I am satisfied the tenant will pay the debt within the period specified in the order and is unlikely to commit any further relevant breach. I have granted 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.
Because [The applicant/s] has wholly succeeded with the claim I must reimburse the filing fee. For the same reason the landlord’s name is suppressed.
