Filing Fee Rent arrears

Order

[The tenant/s] owes Kāhui Tū Kaha Limited $454.00 (“the debt”) as outlined below:
The tenant must pay both weekly rent and the outstanding debt as follows: a. Weekly payments of $104.00, comprised of $84.00 for rent and $20.00 toward the debt; and b. Payments are due by each Wednesday at the latest, beginning 1 October 2025, and continuing until the debt is paid in full.
If the tenant fails to make these payments within five working days of the due date: a. The tenancy at Unit 8, 1A Duke Street, Papakura, 2110 will be terminated, and the landlord will be entitled to immediate possession of the premises; and b. The remaining balance of the debt becomes immediately payable.

Reasons

Both parties were present at the hearing.
The landlord applied for a conditional termination of the tenancy and recovery of rent arrears.

How much rent is owed?

The landlord presented rent records confirming that as of 17 September 2025, the tenant owed $426.00 in rent arrears. This amount is ordered.

Should the tenancy be terminated?

The tenancy qualifies for termination under section 55(1)(a) of the Residential Tenancies Act 1986, as rent was at least 21 days in arrears on the date the application was filed.
The landlord sought a conditional termination, and the tenant expressed willingness to repay the debt to avoid immediate termination.

Should a conditional termination order be made?

Under sections 55(1)(a) and 55(1A) of the Act, the Tribunal must make either a final or conditional termination order where rent arrears exceed 21 days.
The tenant experienced financial difficulty paying rent between 29 August 2024 and 16 January 2025.
Between 23 January and 3 April 2025, the tenant paid both regular weekly rent of $84 and additional top-up payments of $56 toward arrears.
Since 10 April 2025, the tenant has kept up with weekly rent but has not made further payments toward arrears.
At the hearing, the tenant advised that he had received benefit redirection forms yesterday from the landlord and lodged them with MSD this morning. He intends to repay the arrears at $20 per week.
The landlord agrees to this proposed repayment arrangement.
The Tribunal is satisfied that the tenant is likely to comply with this order and unlikely to commit further breaches. A conditional termination order is therefore appropriate.
This order will lapse if fully complied with. However, if the tenant breaches it, the landlord may enforce possession within 90 days of the first breach (see section 64(4)(b) of the Act)..

Should the application filing fee be reimbursed?

As Kāhui Tū Kaha Limited has been wholly successful in its claim, the filing fee is reimbursed to the landlord.
