Rent arrears Water Rates

Order

[The tenant/s] owe [The landlord/s] $2,166.23 (“the debt”).
[The tenant/s] must pay rent and the debt as follows: a. One lump-sum payment of $2,166.23, being: a. $1,900.00 for rent arrears; b. $245.79 for water rates; and c. $20.44 for reimbursement of the filing fee.
The lump-sum payment will be allocated in the following order: rent arrears, water rates and the filing fee.
If the tenant fails to pay rent and the debt within 2 working days of the due date: 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.

Reasons

Both parties attended the hearing.
The landlord has applied for termination of the tenancy, rent arrears and refund of the bond. The tenants want 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.
At the hearing, the tenant accepted the current rent arrears and water rates are owing in the amounts as sought by the landlord. The parties agreed the tenants will pay the debt within the period specified in the order. Therefore, by consent, I have granted a conditional termination order.
The conditional termination order will lapse if it is fully complied with. If the tenants breach the order, the possession order may be enforced for 90 days from the first breach. See section 64(4)(b) Residential Tenancies Act 1986.
Given the landlord has succeeded with the claim, the tenants must reimburse the filing fee.
During the hearing, the tenant raised issues with the condition of the premises. The tenant stated herself and her husband had raised issues with flooding at the premises but the landlord had not provided remedy. The tenant had not made a cross-application in respect of those matters. The tenant accepted that today’s hearing was in respect of rent arrears and water rates only.
I invited the parties to engage in their own discussions regarding those issues to see if they could be resolved.
