Filing fee reimbursement	$27.00	Filing fee reimbursement
Net award	$2,962.00
Total payable by Tenant to Landlord	$2,962.00

An application for suppression has been made in this case, and the Tribunal orders suppression of the parties’ names and identifying details and the tenancy address.

[The tenant/s] owe [The landlord/s] $2,962.00 (“the debt”), calculated as shown in the table below:

[The tenant/s] must pay rent and the debt as follows: a. By weekly payments of $600.00, being $470.00 per week for current rent and $130.00 per week towards the debt, starting on Wednesday 11 June 2025 and continuing every Wednesday until the debt is paid in full.

Payments will be allocated in the following order: rent, rent arrears, and the filing fee.

If the tenant fails to pay rent and rent arrears within 2 working days of the due dates: 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

Both parties attended the hearing.

The landlord has applied for termination of the tenancy, rent arrears, refund of the bond and refund of the filing fee. The tenant wants to repay the debt to avoid immediate termination. The landlord said they are open to the making of a conditional termination order.

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 (“RTA”).

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. Filing fee

Because [The landlord/s] has been successful with the claim I must reimburse the filing fee. Suppression

Both parties requested name suppression. As the landlord has been successful with the claim, they are entitled to name suppression. Therefore, I order that the landlord’s name and identifying details and the tenancy address are not to be published. See section 95A(1) RTA.

Section 95A(4) RTA provides that the Tribunal may, on the application of any party to proceedings or on its own initiative, having regard to the interests of the parties and to the public interest, order that all or part of the evidence given or the name or any identifying particulars of any witness or party not be published.

The tenants have cooperated with the landlord in arranging their finances to try and repay the debt as soon as possible, as they are motivated to retain their tenancy. The tenants said they have experienced some financial hardship due to reduced work hours as well as illness of both tenants, which has impacted their ability to pay rent. The tenants explained that one of the tenants now has increased work hours and both tenants are recovering their health, so the situation has recently changed for the better. As the tenancy is continuing and the parties will have an ongoing relationship, given the circumstances and evidence, I find the tenants’ interests outweigh the public interest in publishing their names. Therefore, I order that the tenants’ names and identifying details are not to be published.
