Filing Fee Rent arrears Water Rates

Order

: rent, rent arrears, water rates and the filing fee.

If the tenant fails to pay rent and rent arrears within 2 working days of the due dates as set out in order 3 above then: 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 water rates or filling fee within 2 working days of the due date, the water rates and filing fee will be payable immediately.

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.

Should a conditional termination order be made?

The Tribunal may terminate a tenancy for breach where, due to the nature or extent of the breach, it would be inequitable to refuse to terminate. Where the breach is capable of remedy the landlord must first serve a notice on the tenant requiring them to remedy the breach within at least 14 days and establish that the tenant has failed to do so. See section 56(1) Residential Tenancies Act 1986.
The tenant breached their obligations by failing to pay rent on time. On the 12 March 2025 the landlord served a 14-day notice on the tenant, but the breach was not remedied within the required period. The tenant has missed further rent payments since the 14-day notice was given and the rent arrears have increased. Given the level of rent arrears and the length of time that they have been owing, I am satisfied that it would be equitable to terminate.
The tenant accepts that she is liable for the rent.
Despite my finding that it would be inequitable to refuse to terminate the tenancy, having heard the evidence I am satisfied the tenant will pay the debt within the period specified in the order and is unlikely to commit any further breach. I have granted a conditional termination. See section 78(3) Residential Tenancies Act 1986.
The conditional termination order will lapse if it is fully complied with. If the tenant breaches the order, the possession order is enforceable for 90 days from the first breach. See section 64(4)(b) Residential Tenancies Act 1986.
The parties agreed to the orders being made and also agreed to a suppression order being made.
Because [The applicant/s] has substantially succeeded with the claim I have reimbursed the filing fee.
