Tiryn Smith owes [The landlord/s] $3,047.00 (“the debt”).

Tiryn Smith must pay rent and the debt as follows: a. By 152 weekly payments of $405.00, being $385.00 for rent and $20.00 for the debt. b. A final payment of $392.00, being $385.00 for rent and $7.00 for the debt. c. Payments will be every Wednesday, with the first payment on 21/05/2025 and continuing until 19/04/2028.

Reasons

The landlord attended the hearing by telephone today. I telephoned the tenant however the call went to voicemail. I continued with the hearing as the tenant has been emailed notice of the hearing date and time to his address for service.

The landlord has applied for termination of the tenancy, rent arrears and refund of the bond. A rent summary has been supplied.

The rent was at least 21 days in arrears on the date the application was filed. The law says the Tribunal must make either a final or a conditional termination order. See section 55(1)(a) and (1A) Residential Tenancies Act 1986.

The amount owing up to 16 May 2025 is $3,020.00. I also award the filing fee.

The tenant did not attend the hearing which makes it difficult to make a repayment plan. However, the rent ledger shows that she has paid rent every week since 6 March 2025, paid a lump sum to reduce the debt, and has paid an extra $20.00 per week for the past three weeks.

I am satisfied the tenant will keep making payments of $405.00 per week to keep the tenancy going. The landlord has agreed to give the tenant this last chance. I have granted a conditional termination order.

The conditional termination order will lapse once the debt is fully repaid.

If any payment is more than one day late, the tenancy will terminate immediately, and any remaining debt become payable. The possession order may be enforced for 90 days from the first breach. See section 64(4)(b) Residential Tenancies Act 1986.

The landlord sought an order that the bond be paid to the landlord if any of the repayments are not made on time. I have not made this order because the amount of the debt may be less than the amount of the bond at the time that the order is enforced.

The landlord has succeeded with the claim, so its name is suppressed, as sought. I suppress the tenancy address.
