Filing fee reimbursement	$27.00	Filing fee reimbursement
Net award	$507.00
Total payable by Tenant to Landlord	$507.00

[The tenant/s] owes [The landlord/s] $507.00 (“the debt”), as calculated in the table below:

[The tenant/s] must pay rent and the debt as follows: a. By weekly payments of $600.00, being $560.00 for rent and $40.00 for the debt. b. Payments will be every Wednesday, with the first payment on 09/10/2024 and continuing until the debt is repaid in full.

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.

The landlord attended by video call and the tenant attended by phone.

The landlord has applied for termination of the tenancy, rent arrears, refund of the bond and reimbursement of the filing fee.

The tenant wants to repay the debt to avoid immediate termination.

How much is owed for rent?

The landlord provided rent records which prove the amount owing to 7 October 2024 is $480.00 and I make this order in full.

Should a conditional termination order be made?

The Tribunal must make either a final or a conditional termination order where rent is at least 21 days in arrears on the date the application was filed or: a. on 3 separate occasions within a 90-day period the rent has been at least 5 working days in arrear; and b. on each occasion the landlord gave the tenant written notice advising the tenant of the arrear, the dates for which rent was overdue, the amount or amounts of overdue rent, and the tenant’s right to make an application to the Tribunal challenging the notice; and c. each notice stated how many other notices (if any) the landlord had given the tenant under this paragraph in relation to the same tenancy and 90-day period; and d. the landlord’s application to the Tribunal was made within 28 days after the landlord gave the third notice. See section 55(1)(a) –(aa) and (1A) Residential Tenancies Act 1986.

On hearing from the parties, 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 landlord consents to the conditional termination order being made.

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. Filing fee

Because the landlord has wholly succeeded with the claim I must reimburse the filing fee. Suppression

As this order is made by consent and having regards to the interests of the parties and the public interest, I have made an order suppressing the tenant’s names and identifying details. See section 95A of the Residential Tenancies Act 1986
