Lusia Ah Kuoi and Salevalasi Va owes Gramax Property Management Limited as Agent for Mengting Tao $6,823.66 (“the debt”).

Lusia Ah Kuoi and Salevalasi Va must pay rent and the debt as follows: a. Payment of $203.22 by 5.00pm on 26 July 2024 for the water bill b. By a lump sum payment of $3300.00 by 5.00pm 2 August 2024 for the rent arrears. c. 16.5 Weekly payments of $920.00, being $700.00 for rent and $200.00 for the remaining rent arrears of $3300.00, (the debt) and $20.00 per week for the ongoing water bills to commence on 6 August 2024. d.

If the tenant fails to pay rent and rent arrears within 2 working days of the due dates: a. The tenancy at 11 Jane Cowie Avenue, Otahuhu, Auckland 1062 will terminate and the landlord will have immediate possession of the premises. b. The balance of the debt will be payable immediately.

Reasons

Both parties attended the hearing.

The landlord has applied for termination of the tenancy, rent arrears and refund of the bond. The tenant wants to repay the debt to avoid immediate termination.

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.

The parties have agreed to the following: -The tenant will pay $203.22 for the water bills by 5.00pm on Friday 26 July 2024 -The rent of $700.00 will be paid, as due, by 5.00pm on Tuesday 30 July 2024 -The tenant will pay a lump sum of $3300.00 off the debt by 5.00pm on Friday 2 August 2024 -The tenant will make 16.5 weekly payments of $900.00 per week starting Tuesday 6 August 2024, being $700.00 for rent and $200.00 towards the remaining rent arrears of $3300.00. The last payment for the rent arrears should be 31 December 2024. -The tenant will commence making weekly payments of $20.00 per week with the rent to be held by the landlord in their trust account for water bills, starting 6 August 2024.

The landlord has applied for rent arrears and water bills and has provided rent records and water invoices which prove the amount owing.

The tenant accepts she owes the rent arrears and water bills.

I am satisfied that the landlord has proven their claim for water bills and rent arrears.

Because Gramax Property Management Limited as Agent for Mengting Tao has wholly succeeded with the claim I must reimburse the filing fee. .
