Filing Fee Rent arrears

Order

[The tenant/s] tenant/s] must pay Irelands Real Estate Limited $538.71 immediately, as set out in the table.
The claim for the bailiff’s fee is dismissed.
The parties have agreed the tenant will pay the money she owes by weekly payments of $10 starting on Wednesday 12 November 2025.
The parties have agreed that the order for payment of money will be enforced by attachment order, as follows: Total Amount Payable: $538.71 Debtor's employer detailsName: MSD Address: Debtor's date of birth (or WINZ number) Deduction amountAmount $10.00 or Percentage % Deduction frequency (Weekly/Fortnightly/Monthly) Weekly Name: Irelands Real Estate Ltd

02 0820 0107866 04 Unless varied, this attachment order will use the protected earnings rate percentage specified in the District Courts Act, and will continue until the debt and associated costs have been paid in full.

Reasons

Both parties attended the hearing.
The landlord has applied for rent arrears and has provided rent records which prove the amount owing. The tenant agreed she owes the rent.
The parties have asked that an attachment be arranged from the tenant’s benefit. I have completed the information and made an attachment order. It is the creditor’s responsibility to take the attachment order to MSD. The landlord is the creditor here.
If MSD are not happy with the attachment order I record that the tenant has agreed to pay the $10 a week, starting next week, and arrange for the money to be redirected from her benefit.
I have done some more reading since the hearing about the bailiff’s fee. The landlord has claimed the fee paid to the bailiff on eviction. It is a cost flowing from the tenant's breach of her obligation to quit the premises on termination so it is an order I can make. However, we do not usually award the cost because the fee is automatically included in the District Court’s process when the landlord seeks to enforce an order through the District Court. This means any order I make could lead to a duplication of the cost.
Because the landlord has substantially succeeded with the claim I have reimbursed the filing fee.
