[The tenant/s] owe [The landlord/s] $9,596.58 (“the debt”), calculated as follows:

The conditional termination order shall 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

Reasons

Both parties attended the hearing which took place by teleconference on 21 October 2024. The property manager [ ] attended for the landlord. [Tenant A] attended with authority to speak for both tenants.

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

The landlord has provided proof that the rent arrears to the date of hearing are $7853.95 and the water arrears to the invoice dated 7 October 2024 are $1742.63.

The tenant does not dispute the debt and 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.

The parties have reached agreement that the tenants will repay the debt as follows: -By one payment of $200.00, on Tuesday 22 October 2024 for the debt. -By seven weekly payments of $250.00 commencing on Tuesday 29 October 2024 and ending on 10 December 2024 for the debt. -By one lump sum payment of $7646.58 on 15 December 2024 for the balance of the debt.

As 15 December 2024 is a Sunday I have ordered the lump sum payment to be made on Monday 16 December 2024.

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 Tribunal may on the application of any party or on its own initiative make a suppression order, having regard to the interests of the parties and to the public interest. Section 95A (4) Residential Tenancies Act 1986. As this order was made by consent, I order suppression of the identifying details of the parties.
