Unit/Flat Flat 7, 278 Gloucester Street, Christchurch Tenancy Tribunal Case 5313579 — Rent arrears | TenantCheck

Order

The Tribunal orders that the tenant’s name and identifying details be suppressed.
The tenant owes Kāinga Ora – Homes and Communities $1,284.00 in rent arrears as of 18 September 2025 (“the debt”).
The tenant must: a. Continue to pay weekly rent of $423.00 as it falls due; and b. Repay the debt by making fortnightly payments of $40.00 every Thursday, starting 2 October 2025, until the debt is fully paid.
If the tenant fails to make any rent payment or debt repayment within 5 working days of the due date: a. The tenancy at Flat 7, 278 Gloucester Street, Christchurch Central, Christchurch 8011 will end, and the landlord will be entitled to immediate possession of the premises; and b. The remaining debt will become immediately payable in full.

Reasons

Both parties attended the hearing.
The landlord applied for recovery of rent arrears and a conditional termination of tenancy. The tenant wishes to repay the debt to avoid immediate termination.

How much rent is owed?

The landlord provided rent records confirming the debt, which the Tribunal accepts.

Should a conditional termination order be made?

As of 25 July 2025 (the application date), the tenant was $1,300.00 in arrears – approximately 21.5 days’ worth of rent.
Under section 55(1)(a) and (1A) of the Residential Tenancies Act 1986, if rent is more than 21 days in arrears at the time of the application, the Tribunal must issue either a final or conditional termination order.
The tenant explained her situation, which the landlord does not dispute, and the Tribunal accepts. The key circumstances were beyond her control, leading to personal and financial pressures that she is now attempting to manage better actively.
The tenant is employed, showed genuine commitment to repaying the debt, and understands the consequences of not complying with the Order.
The Tribunal is satisfied that the tenant can meet the repayment conditions and is unlikely to commit another breach again. A conditional termination order is therefore appropriate.
This order will lapse if the tenant complies fully. If she breaches the terms, the possession order may be enforced within 90 days of the first breach (section 64(4)(b), Residential Tenancies Act 1986).

Should name suppression be granted?

The landlord requested name suppression for the tenant due to the personal circumstances discussed.
The Tribunal agrees that name suppression is justified in this case, considering the potential impact of publication.

Should the filing fee be reimbursed?

Although the landlord is the successful party, it waived its right to reimbursement of the filing fee, so no order is made for its recovery.
