Reasons

Both parties attended the hearing via teleconference

The landlord has applied for termination of the tenancy, rent arrears and refund of the bond. The tenant wants 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.

Mr. Whitehead stated that he is now working full-time and is able to meet his ongoing rental obligations. He acknowledged that his current rent arrears total $2,220 but explained that he has been making efforts to reduce this amount.

He advised that he can afford to pay his regular weekly rent of $480 and an additional $200 per week towards the arrears, bringing his total weekly payment to $680. He indicated that he will make these payments manually rather than by automatic payment, as he has previously experienced issues with his bank failing to process transfers correctly.

Based on his statement, it appears Mr. Whitehead has a plan in place to address the arrears while maintaining his regular rent payments. A conditional order will therefore be issued, requiring him to pay $680 per week commencing 23 October 2025, being $480 for weekly rent and $200 towards the arrears.

I explained to Mr. Whitehead that if he fails to comply with this payment arrangement, the tenancy will terminate automatically without further reference to the Tribunal.

Accordingly, I am satisfied the tenant will pay the debt within the period specified in the order and is unlikely to commit any further relevant breach. I have granted a conditional termination order.

The conditional termination order will lapse if it is fully complied with. If the tenant breaches the order, the possession order may be enforced for 90 days from the first breach. See section 64(4)(b) Residential Tenancies Act 1986. Filing fee

Because Inspire Real Estate Limited As Agent For Natasha Middleton / Over Eighted Ltd has wholly succeeded with the application, I must reimburse the filing fee.
