Tenancy Tribunal case 5269059 — Rent arrears at 800 Anson Street, Mayfair, Hastings 4122
Decided 16 Jul 2025 · Published 16 Jul 2025 · Application 5269059
- Rent arrears
Order
- [The tenant/s] owes Kāinga Ora–Homes And Communities $7,500.00 being rent arrears to 21 July 2025.
- [The tenant/s] must pay the current rent and the rent arrears as follows: a. By fortnightly payments of $1,200.00, being $1,100.00 for rent and $100.00 for the debt. b. Payments will be every fortnight with the first payment on Tuesday 29 July 2025 and continuing fortnightly on Tuesdays.
- Payments will be allocated in the following order: current rent and rent arrears.
- If the tenant fails to pay rent and rent arrears within 5 working days of the due dates: a. The tenancy at 800 Anson Street, Mayfair, Hastings 4122 will terminate and the landlord will have immediate possession of the premises. b. The balance of the debt will be payable immediately.
Reasons
- The landlord attended the telephone hearing today. Calls to the tenant went to voicemail.
- The landlord has applied for a conditional termination order.
- 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. This requirement is met.
- The tenant is currently paying $1,200.00 a fortnight towards the rent ($550.00 per week) and the rent arrears. 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.
- I have started the payment arrangement from 29 July 2025, as requested.
- The payment terms provide the tenant with five working days from the due date for payments to be received, instead of the usual two working days. This was requested by the landlord.
- 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.
