An application for suppression has been made in this case, and the Tribunal orders suppression of the Tenant and landlord name and identifying details.

[The tenant/s] owes [The landlord/s] $17,038.58 (“the debt” for rent arrears).

[The tenant/s] must pay rent and the debt as follows: a. By 681 weekly payments of $210.00, being $185.00 for rent and $25.00 for the debt. b. A final payment of $198.58, being $185.00 for rent and $13.58 for the debt. c. Payments will be every Wednesday, with the first payment on 04/12/2024 and continuing until 23/12/2037.

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 162 Buchanans Road, Hei Hei, Christchurch 8042 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. DescriptionLandlord Rent arrears$17,038.58 Total award$17,038.58 Total payable by Tenant to Landlord$17,038.58

As the rent payable by the tenants are income based this amount may change if the tenants financial and or working status changes. The landlord wants the order to reflect that the tenants must pay current rent and the $25.00pw towards the debt.

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 landlord has applied for rent arrears and has provided rent records which prove the amount of $17,038.58 owing.

The tenants are seeking employment and if they are successful will pay extra towards the debt if they are able. The tenants are aware that their rent is income based and if they are in employment their rent may change. Regardless of the rent the tenant must pay the $25.00 each week until the debt has been repaid.

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

The landlord asked for name suppression for the tenants. Generally, suppression is only granted to the successful party. However, there are some unique circumstances behind the rent arrears and the tenancy that warrant consideration of suppression. Having consider these circumstances, I am granting suppress to the tenants.
