Rejieli Ziona Laumahina-Weston must pay The Rent House Limited - As Agent For Chancellor Holdings Ltd $3,821.49 by 5:00pm, Friday 16 August 2024 per the table below:

Reasons

Both parties attended the hearing.
The landlord has applied for termination of the tenancy, rent arrears, water rates and reimbursement of the filing fee. 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.
The application was filed on 4 June 2024. Rent arrears were $3,120.00 (28 days) on this date.
At the hearing on 1 August 2024, rent arrears were $2,212.86. On 7 June 2024, the tenant made a lump sum payment of $3,900.00. Since 8 July 2024, the tenant has made weekly payments of $830.00.
The tenant advised the Tribunal that they receive a sickness benefit, which was temporarily suspended in early June 2024, as they did not receive a letter advising them about the need to apply for a renewal. The tenant’s benefit has recently been reinstated and there is an automatic redirection for the payment of rent.
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 landlord has applied for rent arrears and has provided rent records which prove the amount owing.
Because The Rent House Limited - As Agent For Chancellor Holdings Ltd has wholly succeeded with the claim I must reimburse the filing fee.
