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 and identifying details.
The tenancy of Cara Roberts and Paul Mullins at [Tenancy address suppressed] is terminated, and possession is granted to [The landlord/s], at 11:59pm on 18 March 2025.
Cara Roberts and Paul Mullins must pay [The landlord/s] $1,162.00 immediately, as calculated in the table below:
The Bond Centre is to pay the bond of $3,060.00 ([Bond number suppressed]) to [The landlord/s] immediately.

Reasons

Both parties attended the hearing.
The landlord has applied for termination of the tenancy, rent arrears and refund of the bond. The tenant wants to repay the debt to avoid immediate termination.
The landlord provided rent records which prove the amount owing of $4,195.00 through to 11 March 2025.
Where a landlord applies to terminate for breach, and rent is at least 21 days in arrears on the hearing date, the Tribunal must terminate the tenancy. See sections 55 and 56(2) Residential Tenancies Act 1986.
One of the tenants suggested several options that she may be able to use to pay the arrears but was unable to provide any evidence that she can in fact pay the outstanding arrears. The landlord submitted that they were not amenable to a conditional termination order, and wanted immediate termination to ensure that the rental arrears amount didn’t continue to increase.
I am not satisfied the tenant will pay the debt and nor am I satisfied that the tenant will not commit any further rental arrears breach.
Rent is at least 21 days in arrears at the hearing date. The tenancy is terminated.
Both parties gave submissions on the possession date, with the landlord wanting it within 24 hours and the tenants wanting up to one month. I have granted possession in seven days to allow the tenants some time to find alternative accommodation. The tenants remain liable for rent until they vacate.
The landlord also advised that there were outstanding water rates, however, no evidence has been provided for these and this claim is dismissed. The landlord can file a further claim with the Tribunal if needed.
Because [The applicant/s] has wholly succeeded with the claim I must reimburse the filing fee. R Harvey-Lane 11 March 2025
