Order

Laasaga Savaiinaea owes [The landlord/s] $4,434.78 (“the debt”).
Laasaga Savaiinaea must pay the debt in one lump sum of $4,434.78 by 5:00pm on Friday 20 September 2024.
Payments will be allocated in the following order: rent arrears, water rates, and the filing fee.
If the tenant fails to pay rent arrears and water rates within 1 working day 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.
If the tenant fails to pay the filing fee within 1 working days of the due date, the filing fee will be payable immediately.

Reasons

The landlord’s representative and the tenant attended the hearing by telephone.
The landlord has applied for termination of the tenancy, rent and water arrears and refund of the bond. The tenant wants to repay the debt to avoid immediate termination.

Should the tenancy be terminated?

Where a landlord applies to terminate for a breach, and rent is at least 21 days in arrears on the hearing date, the Tribunal must usually terminate the tenancy. See sections 55 and 56(2) Residential Tenancies Act 1986.
The landlord has provided rent and water records which prove the amounts owing and the tenant agrees these are correct.
Rent is at least 21 days in arrears at the hearing date.
In this case, the landlord agrees to allow the tenant the chance to repay the debt in full.
I have granted a conditional termination order because the tenant has made arrangements to pay the debt and to seek budgeting assistance.
The rent and water arrears must be paid by the due date and time, or the tenancy will terminate.
The conditional termination order will lapse if it is fully complied with. If the tenant breaches the order, the possession order is enforceable for 90 days from the first breach. See section 64(4)(b) Residential Tenancies Act 1986.
The landlord has been successful in the claim so I must award the filing fee and suppress its name, as applied for.
