Order

The Tribunal orders suppression of the tenant’s name and identifying details.
[The tenant/s] must pay rent and the debt as follows: a. By a payment of $1,692.43 on Thursday 3 July 2025 i. $245.43 to pay the rent to Friday 27 June 2025; ii. $710.00 to pay the rent for the rent week 28 June 2025 to 4 July 2025; and iii. $710.00 to pay the rent for the rent week 5 July 2025 to 11 July 2025 iv. $27.00 for the filing fee.
Thereafter the tenant must pay weekly rent of $710.00 each Thursday.
Payments will be allocated in the following order: rent, rent arrears, and the filing fee.
If: a. the tenant fails to pay rent and arrears as required by Order 2a within 2 working days of the due date; or b. within 3 months from the date of this Order the tenant allows the rent to become more than 14 days in arrears; the tenancy at 4 Te Aika Street, Marshland, Christchurch 8083 will terminate and the landlord will have immediate possession of the premises.
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 which was held by teleconference.
The landlord has applied for termination of the tenancy, rent arrears and refund of the bond.

Should the tenancy be terminated?

The Tribunal shall terminate a tenancy where: a. on 3 separate occasions within a 90-day period the rent has been at least 5 working days in arrear; and b. on each occasion the landlord gave the tenant written notice advising the tenant of the arrear, the dates for which rent was overdue, the amount or amounts of overdue rent, and the tenant’s right to make an application to the Tribunal challenging the notice; and c. each notice stated how many other notices (if any) the landlord had given the tenant under this paragraph in relation to the same tenancy and 90-day period; and d. the landlord’s application to the Tribunal was made within 28 days after the landlord gave the third notice. See section 55(1)(aa) Residential Tenancies Act 1986.
The landlord has served notices on the tenant as required in the Residential Tenancies Act 1986, and the application to the Tribunal was made within 28 days of the date of the third notice.
The grounds have been established for termination of the tenancy.
The rent arrears have now been substantially paid. As at the date of hearing, $21.29 is owed.
On that basis, the landlord does not seek immediate termination of the tenancy but does seek some assurance that the ongoing issues with payment of rent will not continue.
The tenant says that the problem is caused by irregularity in her work.
The rent record shows that although the tenant has often been behind in rent, on each occasion she has brought the rent up to date and has only twice allowed the rent arrears to exceed two weeks’ rent.
In those circumstances it is fair that tenant have the chance to maintain the tenancy provided the landlord has an assurance that rent arrears will not be allowed to accumulate.
A conditional termination Order on these terms is made accordingly
Because the landlord has succeeded with the claim I reimburse the filing fee.
