Filing fee reimbursement	$27.00	Filing fee reimbursement
Net award	$1,759.56

An application for suppression has been made in this case, and the Tribunal orders suppression of both the Tenants and Landlord’s name and identifying details.

[The tenants] owe [The landlord] $1,759.56 calculated as shown in table below (“the debt”).

[The tenants] must pay rent and the debt as follows: a. By 17 weekly payments of $850.00, being $750.00 for rent and $100.00 for the debt. b. A final payment of $809.56, being $750.00 for rent, and $59.56 for the debt (made up of $32.56 rent arrears and $27.00 for the filing fee). c. Payments will be every Thursday, with the first payment on 12/06/2025 and continuing until 09/10/2025.

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

If the tenants fail to pay rent and debt repayments 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.

Reasons

Both parties attended the hearing.

The landlord has applied for termination of the tenancy, rent arrears, refund of the bond and reimbursement of the filing fee. The tenants want to repay the debt to avoid immediate termination.

Should a conditional termination order be made?

The rent was at least 21 days in arrears on the date the application was filed.

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 and I are satisfied the tenants will pay the debt within the period specified in the order and are 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 tenants breach the order, the possession order may be enforced for 90 days from the first breach. See section 64(4)(b) Residential Tenancies Act 1986. Reimbursement of filing fee

Because [The applicant] has wholly succeeded with the claim I must reimburse the filing fee. Name suppression

The landlord applies for non-publication of its name and identifying details and the name and identifying details of its tenants.

The Tribunal must, on the application of a party that has wholly or substantially succeeded in proceedings, order that the party’s name or identifying particulars not be published, unless the Tribunal considers that publication is in the public interest or is justified because of the party’s conduct or any other circumstances of the case.

The landlord has substantially succeeded in its proceedings. I do not consider publication is in the public interest or justified because of the landlord’s conduct or any other circumstances of the case.

Non-publication is ordered.

The tenants did not make an application during the hearing for their names and identifying details to be suppressed. The tenants are residents of a small town where they may find it hard to get rental accommodation in the future if their names and identifying details are published.

The landlord states the tenants have fallen behind in their rent through reasons outside of their control and they have taken steps to reduce the arrears through the additional payment of $100.00 per week on top of their weekly rent. The tenants have committed to continuing to do so until the debt is repaid.

I am satisfied that the public interest in this matter does not outweigh the significant duress publishing the tenants’ names could result in when they apply for future tenancies. I therefore used my discretion to grant them suppression of their names and identifying details.
