Order
- The Tribunal orders suppression of the Tenant’s name and identifying details.
- [The tenant/s] owes Kāinga Ora–Homes and Communities $2,876.00, being rent arrears to 11 December 2024 (“the debt”).
- [The tenant/s] must pay rent and the debt as follows: a. By weekly payments of $104.00, being $84.00 for rent and $20.00 for the debt. b. Payments will be every Wednesday, with the first payment on 18/12/2024 and continuing until the debt is paid in full.
- If the tenant fails to make any payment within 2 working days of the due date, the balance of the debt owing will be payable immediately and can be enforced through the District Court.
Reasons
- Both parties attended the hearing which was held by teleconference.
- The landlord has applied for the recovery of rent arrears. The tenant has expressed a willingness to repay the outstanding debt.
- The parties have mutually agreed to the repayment arrangement, ordered above.
- If the tenant fails to make any payment within two working days of the due date, the full outstanding balance will become immediately due and payable. The landlord may then seek to enforce the debt through the District Court.
- The landlord does not seek a suppression order. However, as this is effectively a consent order, it is reasonable and appropriate to suppress the tenant’s name and identifying details.
