An application for suppression has been made in this case, and the Tribunal orders suppression of the tenant’s name and identifying details.

[The tenant/s] owes Max Rentals Nz Limited $8,524.60 (“the debt”) as calculated in the table below:

[The tenant/s] must pay rent and the debt as follows: a. By weekly payments of $675 for rent on: a. Thursday 13 November 2025 b. Thursday 20 November 2025 c. Thursday 27 November 2025 d. Thursday 4 December 2025, and e. Thursday 11 December 2025. b. A final payment of $5,824.60 on Friday 12 December 2025 for the debt.

Payments will be allocated in the following order: rent, rent arrears, water rates and the filing fee.

If the tenant fails to pay rent, rent arrears and the water rates within 2 working days of the due dates: a. The tenancy at [Tenancy address suppressed] 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 remote hearing.

The landlord has applied for a. termination of the tenancy, b. rent arrears, c. water rates, and d. 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. 1

The tenant has said his Kiwisaver exceeds the rent arrears and he is in the process of applying for his Kiwisaver to be released to pay the rent arrears. 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 by consent.

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. 2 1 See section 55(1)(a) and (1A) Residential Tenancies Act 1986. 2 See section 64(4)(b) Residential Tenancies Act 1986.

How much is owed for rent?

The tenant must pay the rent as and when it is due and payable under the tenancy agreement. 3 The landlord provided rent records which prove the amount owing as at the hearing date. The rent arrears were undisputed.

How much is owed for water rates?

The tenant is responsible for water consumption charges. 4 The landlord provided water rates invoices and a water rates statement which prove the amount owing to 3 October 2025 and the water rates ordered is made by consent. Filing fee

Because the landlord has substantially succeeded with the claim I have reimbursed the filing fee. Suppression

Section 95A of the RTA relates to suppression orders. The relevant provisions state: (1)The Tribunal must, on the application of a party that has wholly or substantially succeeded in proceedings, order that the party’s name or identifying particulars not be published, unless the Tribunal considers that publication is in the public interest or is justified because of the party’s conduct or any other circumstances of the case.... ...(4) The Tribunal may, on the application of any party to proceedings or on its own initiative, having regard to the interests of the parties and to the public interest, order that all or part of the evidence given or the name or any identifying particulars of any witness or party not be published. (5) An order under subsection (4) may be made subject to any conditions that the Tribunal considers appropriate.

The landlord did not seek name suppression. 3 See section 40 (1)(a) of the RTA. 4 See section 39 RTA.

The tenant sought name suppression and as this order is made by consent I have suppressed the tenant’s names and identifying details.
