[The tenant/s] owes [The landlord/s] $4,320.04 (“the debt”) as set out below:

[The tenant/s] must pay rent and the debt as follows: a. Rent as it falls due, with the next rent payment due on Friday 09/08/2024. b. A lump sum payment of $4,970.04 on or before Friday 16/08/2024, being $650.00 for rent and $4,320.04 for the debt.

Payments will be allocated in the following order: rent, rent arrears, and the filing fee.

If the tenant fails to pay rent and rent arrears within 2 working days of the due dates: a. The tenancy at [Tenancy address suppressed] will terminate and the landlord will have immediate possession of the premises. b. The balance of the debt will be payable immediately.

If the tenant fails to pay the filing fee within 2 working days of the due date, the filing fee will be payable immediately.

Reasons

Both parties attended the hearing via phone.

The parties confirmed the second person named as a tenant on the tenancy agreement has left the premises and was removed as a tenant. The tenant confirmed she is the only named tenant in the premises, however she noted a new flatmate had recently moved in.

The tenant accepted the rent arrears and rent to 08/082024, as recorded by the landlord’s agent, was correct. The tenant advised she was expecting to receive some financial assistance from Work and Income New Zealand (WINZ) and therefore will be in a position to repay the arrears within the next week.

The landlord’s agent indicated if an agreement for repayment of the rent arrears could be made, a conditional termination would be acceptable.

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. 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.
