Filing Fee Rent arrears

Order

An application for suppression has been made in this case, and the Tribunal orders suppression of the landlord’s name.
Keanu Thomas Finn owes [The landlord/s] $1,369.86 (“the debt”) calculated as shown in the table below:
Keanu Thomas Finn must pay the debt no later than 11:59pm on Friday 20 December 2024.
Payments will be allocated in the following order: rent, rent arrears, and the filing fee.
If the tenant fails to rent arrears within 2 working days of the due date: a. The tenancy at 79 Patikura Place, Turangi, Turangi 3334 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

The landlord’s agent attended the hearing for the landlord. The tenant did not attend the hearing. The tenant has not communicated with the Tribunal as to why he would not attend the hearing and the hearing proceeded in his absence.
The landlord has applied for termination of the tenancy, rent arrears and the filing fee. The landlord had also applied for an order that the tenant pay the bond. However, the landlord’s agent advised at today’s hearing that the tenant has now paid the bond and that claim is withdrawn.

Should a conditional termination order be made?

Section 55(1)(a) and (1A) of the Residential Tenancies Act 1986 (RTA) provides that 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.
The landlord has requested a conditional termination order. Although the tenant has been in rent arrears since the tenancy started on 16 October 2024, he has been making regular payments and the rent arrears are just over 2.5 weeks. 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.
Section 64(4)(b) of the RTA provides that 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.
[The applicant/s] has wholly succeeded with the claim. Therefore, I must order reimbursement of the filing fee and suppression of the landlord’s name.
