Filing Fee Rent arrears

Order

[The tenant/s] tenant/s] and [The tenant/s] tenant/s] owes Red Chili Property Management Limited $1,349.43 (“the debt”) as set out in table below.
[The tenant/s] tenant/s] and [The tenant/s] tenant/s] must pay rent and the debt as follows: a. By weekly payments towards the current rent of $370.00, commencing Tuesday, 26/08/2025 and continuing every Tuesday thereafter. b. A lump sum payment of $1,349.43, on 1 September 2025 for the debt.
If the tenant fails to pay rent and rent arrears within 2 working days of the due dates: a. The tenancy at 371 Volckman Road, Leeston, RD 3, Leeston 7683 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 and refund of the bond.
The tenant wants to repay the debt to avoid immediate termination.
The landlord agrees with the repayment plan set out on the above table.

Should a conditional termination order be made?

The Tribunal may terminate a tenancy for breach where, due to the nature or extent of the breach, it would be inequitable to refuse to terminate. Where the breach is capable of remedy the landlord must first serve a notice on the tenant requiring them to remedy the breach within at least 14 days, and establish that the tenant has failed to do so. See section 56(1) Residential Tenancies Act 1986.
The tenant breached their obligations by not keeping up with regular rent payments. The landlord served a 14-day notice on the tenant but the breach was not remedied within the required period. It would be inequitable to refuse to terminate the tenancy.
Despite my finding that it would be inequitable to refuse to terminate the tenancy, having heard the evidence I am satisfied the tenant will pay the debt within the period specified in the order and is unlikely to commit any further breach. I have granted a conditional termination. See section 78(3) Residential Tenancies Act 1986.
The conditional termination order will lapse if it is fully complied with. If the tenant breaches the order, the possession order is enforceable for 90 days from the first breach. See section 64(4)(b) Residential Tenancies Act 1986.
Because Red Chili Property Management Limited has substantially succeeded with the claim I have reimbursed the filing fee.
