Net award	$1,080.14
Total payable by Tenant to Landlord	$1,080.14

The Tribunal orders suppression of the Tenant’s name and identifying details.

[The tenant/s] owes Kāinga Ora–Homes And Communities $1,080.14 (“the debt”), calculated in the table below:

[The tenant/s] must pay rent and the debt as follows: a. By a lump sum payment of $1,000.00 on Thursday 9 July 2025, and; b. By fortnightly payments of $850.00, being $0.00 for rent and $1,080.14 for the debt. The first payment will be on Thursday 24 July 2025 and will continue every fortnight thereafter on a Thursday until the debt is paid in full. .

Payments will be allocated in the following order: 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 [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 which was held by teleconference on 9 July 2025.

The landlord has applied for termination of the tenancy, rent arrears and refund of the bond. 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 tenancy has been affected by inconsistent rent payments since 17 December 2024, leading to a rent arrears balance of $1,623.00 as of 22 May 2025 (the date the application was filed). The tenant has also carried over a debt of $1,009.21 from a previous tenancy, which remains unpaid.

The landlord seeks a conditional termination order pursuant to section 55(1A) and (1B) RTA, to allow the tenant a final opportunity to repay her arrears by maintaining consistent payments.

In the alternative, should the Tribunal determine that a conditional order is not appropriate, the landlord seeks an immediate termination of the tenancy and possession of the premises, along with a money order for the total rent arrears outstanding as at the date of hearing.

The tenant proposed to make a lump sum payment of $1,000.00 and fortnightly payments of $850.00, comprising $750.00 towards rent and $100.00 towards arrears. The tenant’s proposed plan demonstrates willingness to pay and is not unreasonable. Given the tenant’s circumstances, including care responsibilities and part-time study, the Tribunal accepts that a conditional order provides a fair and proportionate outcome.

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.

The landlord has waived the filing fee and does not seek a suppression order.

As this is essentially a consent order, I consider it reasonable to grant suppression of the tenant’s name and identifying details.
