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

The tenancy of Marcia Fisher at [Tenancy address suppressed] is terminated, and possession is granted to [The landlord/s], at 5:00pm on Thursday 16 January 2025 (“the final termination date”).

Marcia Fisher owes [The landlord/s] $3,918.97 (“the debt”), calculated as in the table below.

Marcia Fisher must pay rent and the debt as follows: a. Payment of $1,860.00 for monthly rent (for 15/12/2024 to 14/01/2025) by 5:00pm on Sunday 15 December 2024; and b. Payment of $122.30 for rent (for 15/01/2025 and 16/01/2025) by 5:00pm on Wednesday 15 January 2025.

Payments will be allocated in the following order: rent, rent arrears, and the filing fee.

If the tenant fails to pay rent within 1 working day of the due date specified in order 4a: a. The tenancy at [Tenancy address suppressed] will terminate and the landlord will have immediate possession of the premises; and b. The balance of the debt will be payable immediately.

The landlord agrees that the tenant may terminate the tenancy on any date before the final termination date by giving no less than five days written notice to the landlord.

Reasons

Both parties attended the hearing held by telephone on 10 December 2024.

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

Rent was at least 21 days in arrears on the date the application was filed. The starting point in law is that the tenancy must be terminated when this is the case. See section 55(1)(a) Residential Tenancies Act 1986.

The landlord seeks termination because of past rent arrears and has provided rent records which prove the amount owing up to the hearing date. 1

After hearing from both parties, I have made an order that the latest the tenancy will terminate is at 5:00pm on Thursday 16 January 2025.

To continue the tenancy until the final termination date, the tenant must pay the monthly rent of $1,860.00 by 5:00pm on Sunday 15 December 2024.

The last rent payment due on 15 January 2025 is $122.30 2 for the last two days of the tenancy.

If the monthly rent payment due on Sunday 15 December 2024 is more than 1 working day late, the tenancy will terminate immediately, and the debt will be payable in full.

The landlord and tenant are free to agree between themselves on a repayment plan for the debt.

The landlord agrees that the tenant may end the tenancy earlier than the final termination date by giving no less than five days written notice. 1 The landlord did not provide the rent ledger in time for the hearing. If the tenant applies for a rehearing and provides evidence to show that the rent ledger is incorrect, this money order will be stayed and a second hearing will be held to confirm the amount of the debt. 2 The rent ledger shows that rent is charged as $1,860.00 per month which is $61.15 per day ($1,860.00 x 12 months = $22,320 per annum divided by 365 days = $61.15 per day.

The bond remains at the Bond Centre. The parties can agree on how the bond is to be refunded (by both signing a Bond Refund Form) or another application can be made to the Tribunal.

The landlord is entitled to be awarded the filing fee and to suppression of name from the published order as she has been successful with the application.
