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.

How much is owed in rent arrears?

The landlord has applied for rent arrears and has provided rent records which prove the amount owing. The Tenant disputed this amount claiming they owed less rent of approximately $4935.00 however they had no evidence to prove this discrepancy. I find the Landlord’s rent summary is supportive of the amount claimed.
The amounts ordered are proved.
As the Landlord has been substantially successful in their claim, name suppression is granted to the Landlord. As the Tenant has not been successful, name suppression is not granted to the Tenant.
