Filing Fee Rent arrears

Order

An application for suppression has been made in this case, and the Tribunal orders suppression of the Landlord name and identifying details.
Danielle Paul owes [The landlord/s] $4,428.00 (“the debt”) as shown in the table below: DescriptionLandlord Rent arrears and rent to 5 May 2025$4,250.00 Power Charges$151.00 Filing fee reimbursement$27.00 Total award$4,428.00 Total payable by Tenant to Landlord$4,428.00
Danielle Paul must pay the debt by one payment of $4,428.00 on or before Friday, 2 May 2025.
Payments will be allocated in the following order: current rent, rent arrears, power and the filing fee.
If the tenant fails to pay rent, rent arrears and the power charges within 2 working days of the due date: 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

The landlord attended the hearing. The tenant did not attend.
The landlord has applied for termination of the tenancy, rent arrears, power charges and refund of the bond.
The landlord advised that the tenant wants to repay the debt to avoid immediate termination.

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.
The landlord’s daughter had received a call from the tenant shortly before the hearing advising that the tenant now has support to pay the full amount of the arrears. The landlord is prepared for the tenancy to continue, if the debt is paid in full by Friday, 2 May 2025. 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.
Rent payments have been erratic. Payment of the debt in full will bring the rent up to date to 5 May 2025. The tenant will then be required to pay the weekly rent of $600 every Tuesday, from 6 May 2025. If the tenant misses further payments, and another application is made to the Tribunal, it is almost certain the tenancy will end.
As the landlord was the successful party, I have awarded reimbursement of the Tribunal application fee and granted his requires for suppression of his details.
