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

[The tenant/s] owes [The landlord/s] $1,717.88 (“the debt”), as calculated in the table below

[The tenant/s] must pay rent and the debt as follows: a. By one lump sum payment of $1,717.88 by 3 April 2025 for the debt. b. By weekly payments of $445.00 for rent. Payments will be due every, with the first payment due by 13 March 2025 and continuing until the debt is paid in full.

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 [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 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 by phone.

The landlord has applied for termination of the tenancy, rent arrears, refund of the bond and reimbursement of the filing fee. The tenant wants to repay the debt to avoid immediate termination.

Should the tenancy be terminated?

The Tribunal shall terminate a tenancy where: a. on 3 separate occasions within a 90-day period the rent has been at least 5 working days in arrear; and b. on each occasion the landlord gave the tenant written notice advising the tenant of the arrear, the dates for which rent was overdue, the amount or amounts of overdue rent, and the tenant’s right to make an application to the Tribunal challenging the notice; and c. each notice stated how many other notices (if any) the landlord had given the tenant under this paragraph in relation to the same tenancy and 90-day period; and d. the landlord’s application to the Tribunal was made within 28 days after the landlord gave the third notice. 1

In this case I find the landlord has served notices on the tenant as required in the Residential Tenancies Act 1986, on 9/12/24, 6/1/25 and 14/1/25 and the application to the Tribunal was made within 28 days of the date of the third notice on 23/1/25.

The grounds have been established and the tenancy must be terminated.

Should a conditional termination order be made?

The terms of a conditional termination order were discussed at the hearing.

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 by consent. 1 See section 55(1)(aa) Residential Tenancies Act 1986.

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. 2

Rent is due every Thursday but I record that the tenant is able to pay rent on Tuesday as she has been doing, to align with her pay day. Rent arrears

Rent records have been provided which prove the amount owing at the end of the tenancy, as ordered above. Filing fee

Because the landlord has wholly succeeded with the claim, I must reimburse the filing fee. Suppression

As this order has been made by consent, I make an order for name suppression for both parties. 3
