Decided 11 Jul 2024 · Published 11 Jul 2024 · Application 4865580
- Rent arrears
Order
- [The tenant/s] is liable to pay Kāinga Ora–Homes And Communities $1,242.00, being rent arrears to 11 July 2024.
- The tenant must pay the debt in order 1 at the rate of $344.00 per fortnight being $284.00 for the current fortnightly rent and $60.00 for the rent arrears.
- The first payment of $344.00 must be made by 5pm on Thursday 18 July 2024 and payments must continue fortnightly every Thursday until the debt is paid in full.
- If the tenant fails 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 by telephone today.
- The landlord has applied for rent arrears and has provided rent records which prove the amount owing.
- The tenant accepts the rent arrears and agrees to pay the fortnightly rent ($284.00) plus $60.00 towards the arrears (a total payment of $344.00 per fortnight).
- The tenant may round the payments up to $350.00 per fortnight if this is easier administratively (the arrears can always be paid more quickly) but must pay at least $344.00 each fortnight.
