Order

An application for suppression has been made in this case, and the Tribunal orders suppression of the [Tenant] name and identifying details.
[The tenant/s] owes Kāinga Ora–Homes And Communities $0.00 (“the debt”).
[The tenant/s] must pay rent and the debt as follows: a. By 0 weekly payments of $0.00, being $0.00 for rent and $0.00 for the debt. b. A final payment of $0.00, being $0.00 for rent and $0.00 for the debt. c. Payments will be every , with the first payment on
Payments will be allocated in the following order: rent, then rent arrears.
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.
The Landlord sought a conditional termination order.
I discerned from the rent payment history and the Landlord’s submissions, the Tenant complies with her payment obligations and has experienced genuine hardship coupled with administrative issues which have put her behind. I have full confidence in the Tenant to find her feet and comply with her obligations.
I consider the Tenant’s name should be supressed. This is a case of genuine hardship and the Tenant has done everything within her power to make good on her promise to pay rent.
