Reasons

Both parties attended the hearing which was held remotely. The hearing was assisted by a Samoan interpreter.
The background to this claim is that Lonise’s mother rented the premises from 6 June 2015 to 9 March 2025. She passed away and Lonise took over the tenancy until she vacated on 5 May 2025.
One of the purposes of today’s hearing was to establish what debt belonged to Lonise’s mother and what part of the debt belonged to Lonise.
It was established that as at 9 March 2025, Lonise’s mother was in rent credit by $38.00. However, there was $504.56 outstanding in water arrears.
It was also established that Lonise’s mother was responsible for damage to the shower by using a chair with steel feet in the shower. She is therefore responsible for paying the $750.00 insurance excess payable for the repair of this damage.
The total owed to the landlord by Lonise’s mother is $1,216.56 – that amount coming from the bond of $1,620.00.
This means that there was $403.44 remaining in the bond.
It was also established at today’s hearing that Lonise owes $871.26 in rent arrears and $122.92 in water rates for the period 10 March 2025 to 5 May 2025, which is the period for which she took over the tenancy.
These amounts owing includes and takes into account a payment from WINZ of $468.74.
The remainder of the bond ($403.44) has been used to cover some of this debt, so that there now remains $590.74 owing.
At today’s hearing Lonise offered to pay this amount by making $20.00 weekly instalments until the whole of the debt is cleared.
This agreement between the landlord and the tenant is reflected in the Order above. C ter Haar 13 November 2025
