If the tenant fails to pay rent and rent arrears within 2 working days of the due dates: a. The tenancy at 129B East Tamaki Road, Papatoetoe, Auckland 2025 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. The tenant did not.
The landlord has applied for conditional termination of the tenancy, rent arrears and the filing fee. Background
The tenancy began on 10 February 2023.
The rent is $173.00 per week.
Since September 2023, the tenant has been inconsistent with the payment of rent and has fallen into arrears. At the time the application was filed on 15 May 2024, the rent was $8,020.29 in arrears.
On 5 June 2024, the tenant made a lump sum payment of $7,736.00 to the landlord, which is why the landlord only sought a conditional termination of the tenancy at the hearing on 10 June 2024.

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.
