Filing Fee Rent arrears

Order

Tamara Kerapa owes [The landlord/s] $5,201.28 (“the debt”) as set out in the table:
Tamara Kerapa must pay rent and the debt as follows: a. By a payment of the weekly rent of $425.00 when it is due this week. b. By a final payment of $5,201.28 for the debt on or before Friday 13 December 2024.
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 105 Heath Street, Saint Andrews, Hamilton 3200 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 has applied for termination of the tenancy, rent arrears and reimbursement of the filing fee. The tenant wants to repay the debt to avoid immediate termination.

Should a conditional termination order be made?

The Tribunal may terminate a tenancy for breach where, due to the nature or extent of the breach, it would be inequitable (very unfair) to refuse to terminate. Where the breach is capable of remedy the landlord must first serve a notice on the tenant requiring them to remedy the breach within at least 14 days and establish that the tenant has failed to do so. See section 56(1) Residential Tenancies Act 1986 (RTA).
The tenant breached her obligations by failing to pay rent on time. The landlord served a 14-day notice on the tenant but the breach was not remedied within the required period. I find it would be inequitable to refuse to terminate the tenancy.
Despite my finding, having heard the evidence the tenant has an appointment with WINZ this afternoon, I am satisfied the tenant is motivated to pay the debt within the period specified in the order and is unlikely to commit any further breach. I have granted a conditional termination. See section 78(3) RTA.
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) RTA. Other orders
Because the landlord has wholly succeeded with the claim I must reimburse the filing fee.
The landlord’s application for suppression is allowed because the landlord is the most successful party. The tenant’s name will be published because there is public interest in names when a tenant owes rent. See section 95A RTA.
