Filing Fee Rent arrears

Order

An application for suppression has been made in this case, and the Tribunal orders suppression of the Landlord name and identifying details.
owes (“the debt”), being rent arrears to Thursday 4 September 2025 plus the filing fee for this application (see table below).
are to pay the debt by making payments of $100.00 per week in addition to the usual weekly rent, which is currently $775.00. The first payment of $875.00 is due on Friday 5 September 2025, but it is noted that Ms Lay intends to make the payments on Wednesday of each week, with the first payment on Wednesday 3 September 2025.
Payments will be allocated in the following order: rent, rent arrears, and the filing fee.
If the tenant fails to pay rent and rent arrears within 2 working days of the due dates (Friday of each week): a. The tenancy at will terminate and the landlord will have immediate possession of the premises. b. The balance of the debt will be payable immediately.
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. Ms Lay represented herself and Mr Ball. [The landlord’s representative] represented the landlord.
Ms Lay did not dispute the landlord’s claim for rent arrears. [The landlord’s representative] said that she would prefer a ‘payment plan’ for the arrears and not a straight termination order.
It is appropriate to make a conditional termination order because: 1 a. The rent is more than 21-days in arrears. b. I am satisfied that the tenants will pay the arrears within the period set out above, and it is unlikely that they will commit a further breach.
The tenants will pay $100 per week in addition to the usual rent to clear the arrears. The first payment will be made this week, and will continue weekly until the arrears are paid in full.
The landlord was successful with this application, and I must also award them the filing fee of $28.00. 2
The landlord sought name suppression. Suppression is granted on the grounds that the landlord succeeded in the proceedings. 3
