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

Sean Turner and Shenee Grace Stamper owe [The landlord] $3,227.00 (“the debt”), calculated as set out in the table below:

Sean Turner and Shenee Grace Stamper must pay rent and the debt as follows: a. By 1 weekly payment of $4,027.00, being $800.00 for rent arrears and $3,227.00 for reimbursement of the filing fee. b. Paying $800.00, for rent every Friday thereafter, commencing 28 February 2025, until the end of the tenancy.

If the tenants fail to pay rent and rent arrears within 2 working days of the due dates: a. The tenancy at [Tenancy address suppressed] will terminate and the landlord will have immediate possession of the premises. b. The balance of the debt will be payable immediately.

If the tenants fail 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. Shenee Stamper attended on both tenants’ behalf and has made a request for the Tribunal not to send a copy of this Order to Sean Turner. The Tribunal has agreed to this request, conditional upon Shenee Stamper agreeing to convey the contents of this Order and her agreement to pay the debt in full by 21 February 2025 and to ensure the weekly rent is paid a week in advance every Friday thereafter.

If Sean Turner comes back to the Tribunal with a complaint that he was not provided with a copy of this Order, the Tribunal will confirm to him that Shenee Stamper took responsibility for keeping him fully informed of the contents of the hearing and of this Order and that it was at her request he was nit provided with an emailed copy of the Order. This type of request would not usually be agreed to as both tenants are jointly and severally liable for the debt. However, the landlord has confirmed it spoke to Sean Turner this morning and he is fully aware of the hearing today and its purpose and that the rent was in $2,171.43 as of today’s date. He also confirmed that he appointed Shenee Stamper to represent him at the hearing.

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

The tenants want 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.

I am satisfied the tenants will pay the debt within the period specified in the order and are unlikely to commit any further relevant breach, as they have confirmed they have now got their work situation sorted and can sell a vehicle to repay the full debt. 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. Reimbursement of filing fee

Because [The applicant] has wholly succeeded with the claim I must reimburse the filing fee Name suppression

The landlord applies for non-publication of its name and identifying details.

The Tribunal must, on the application of a party that has wholly or substantially succeeded in proceedings, order that the party’s name or identifying particulars not be published, unless the Tribunal considers that publication is in the public interest or is justified because of the party’s conduct or any other circumstances of the case.

The landlord has substantially succeeded in its proceedings. I do not consider publication is in the public interest or justified because of the landlord’s conduct or any other circumstances of the case.
