144 Baker Street, New Brighton, Christchurch 8083 Tenancy Tribunal Case 5169951 — Rent arrears

Tenantcheck Insights

Order

[The tenant/s] must pay rent of $575.00 (pending any change in the rent payable) weekly in advance, with the next payment due on Friday 7 March 2025 and continuing each Friday thereafter.

If, within 3 months from the date of this Order, the tenant fails to pay rent as required by Order 1 within 2 working days of the due dates, the tenancy at 144 Baker Street, New Brighton, Christchurch 8083 will terminate and the landlord will have immediate possession of the premises.

Reasons

Both parties attended the hearing which was held by teleconference.

The landlord has applied for termination of the tenancy on the grounds that the tenant did not comply with the terms of a 14 day notice given in respect of rent arrears and payment for damage, or with agreements reached at a prior mediation.

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.

As at the date of the hearing, the tenant’s rent is paid up and no arrears are owed. The rent payment record shows that there have been regular breaches of the tenant’s obligation to pay the rent weekly in advance in terms of the agreement.

With the rent and damages having been paid to date, the landlord does not seek an Order for immediate termination of the tenancy but does ask that an Order be made that the tenancy will terminate in the event of any further breaches.

It would not be appropriate to make a conditional termination Order with ongoing effect but I do find that a conditional termination Order of limited duration would be just, to give the tenant the opportunity to provide the landlord with the reassurance it is entitled to, that the past issues with rent being paid on time will not continue. The tenant intends to arrange for the rent to be paid by redirection which seems prudent.

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 waives the filing fee.
