Order

An application for suppression has been made in this case, and the Tribunal orders suppression of the Landlord and Tenants’ names and identifying details.
[The tenant/s] owes [The landlord/s] $4,526.74 (“the debt”), calculated in the table below:

[The tenant/s] must pay the debt in order 2 above (being $4,526.74) in full to [The landlord/s] by 5pm on Friday 7 November 2025. :
If the tenants fail to pay the debt within 2 working days of the due date in order 3: a. The tenancy at [Tenancy address suppressed] will terminate and the landlord will have immediate possession of the premises. b. The Bond Centre is to refund the full bond of $3,500.09 (BN-00122187) to to [The landlord/s] immediately; c. The balance of the debt ($1,026.65) will become immediately payable by the tenants.

Reasons

The landlord’s representative attended the hearing which was held by teleconference. [The tenant/s] attended the hearing for the tenants.
The landlord has applied for termination of the tenancy, rent arrears, unpaid water rates and refund of the bond. The tenants want to repay the debt to avoid immediate termination.

Should a conditional termination order be made?

Where rent is at least 21 days in arrears on the date the application was filed, the Tribunal must make either a final or a conditional termination order. See section 55(1)(a) and (1A) Residential Tenancies Act 1986.
As at 5 November 2025, the landlord claimed that the tenants owed rent arrears of $4,200.00 and unpaid water rates of $298.74 for the period 1 July to 5 August 2025.
[The tenant/s] did not oppose the landlord’s claims. She advised that they have an appointment with Work and Income New Zealand (WINZ), and WINZ has agreed to assist with full payment of the arrears.
Following discussion at the hearing, the landlord agreed to a conditional termination order on the basis that the full debt owed is paid by the tenants by
00 pm on Friday, 7 November 2025. [The tenant/s] agreed to these terms.
Given the tenants agreement to pay the full amount within two days and their assertion that WINZ support has been secured, I am satisfied that the debt is likely to be paid in the timeframe proposed and that no further breach will occur. The landlord’s consent to the arrangement provides further support for this.
A conditional termination order is therefore granted.
The conditional termination order will lapse if it is fully complied with. If the tenants breach the order, the possession order may be enforced for 90 days from the first breach. See section 64(4)(b) Residential Tenancies Act 1986.
As the landlord has been wholly successful with the claim, I must order the tenants to reimburse the filing fee and grant suppression of the landlord’s name.
Given this is essentially a consent order, I consider it appropriate to also grant suppression of the tenants’ names and their identifying details.
