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

[The respondent] owes [The landlord/s] $7,492.77 (“the debt”).

[The respondent] must pay rent and the debt as follows: a. By 29 weekly payments of $1,250.00, being $1,000.00 for rent and $250.00 for the debt. b. A final payment of $1,242.77, being $1,000.00 for rent and $242.77 for the debt. c. Payments will be every Wednesday, with the first payment on 09/04/2025 and continuing until 29/10/2025.

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 53 Boundary Road, Opaheke, Papakura 2113 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.

[The respondent] must pay [The landlord/s] $7,492.77 being rent arrears and water bills till 2 April 2025 and filing fee, as calculated, and set out below: DescriptionLandlord Rent arrears (2/4/25)$6,260.00 Water rates$1,205.77 Filing fee reimbursement$27.00 Total award$7,492.77 Total payable by Tenant to Landlord$7,492.77

Reasons

Both parties attended the hearing.

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

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.

The landlord has applied for rent arrears and water bills and has provided rent records and water invoices which prove the amount owing.

The tenant does not dispute that she owes $6260.00 in rent arrears to 2 April 2025 and $1205.77 in water bills.

I am satisfied that the landlord has proven their claim for water bills and rent arrears.

The landlord has reduced the weekly rental to $1000.00 effective as of 2 April 2025.

The tenant accepts that she must comply with the repayment plan as set out in this order, or the tenancy will terminate within 2 days of the due date if the repayment and rent is not paid.

The landlord sought to claim rent arrears until the 9 th of April 2025 when the rent and repayment plan start. However, I cannot award rent that is not currently due in with rent arrears. The rent arrears set out in this order is to 2 April 2025.

Because [The applicant/s] has wholly succeeded with the claim I must reimburse the filing fee.

As the landlord has been successful with their claim and has sought suppression, I am granting suppression. Additionally, the tenant seeks suppression of her name and details. The landlord supports that application. I am granting suppression as the tenant is committed to complying this the repayment plan and has provided an explanation for the rent arrears.

There is no public interest in the tenant’s name and details being available on public records and so I am also suppressing her name and details.
