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.

After hearing from the parties, they have agreed to a conditional termination. This order reflects the agreement made during the hearing. All options were considered and ultimately this agreement was the decided upon in the interest of the landlord getting the rent arrears in a timely fashion.

The tenancy will terminate at the end of this payment schedule by agreement of the parties.

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 has provided rent records which prove the amount owing. The tenant does not dispute the amount of rent owed.

On the day of hearing the tenant paid $16,000.00 to the landlord. $6000.00 was for the next 4 weeks rent and $10,000.00 was for the rent arrears. The rent owed after payment of this $10,000.00 is $50087.00.

As the tenancy will terminate at the end of the repayment plan, the landlord seeks the bond now to offset the debt owed by the tenant.

The bond centre is to refund the bond to the landlord immediately to offset the debt owed by the tenant to the landlord.

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

As the landlord has applied for suppression of his name and details and has been successful with his claim, I am granting suppression to him.
