Filing fee reimbursement	$28.00	Filing fee reimbursement
Net award	$1,208.00
Total payable by Tenant to Landlord	$1,208.00

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

Vivienne Nuri owes [The landlord/s] $1,208.00 (“the debt”) as follows:

Vivienne Nuri must pay rent and the debt as follows: a. By a payment of $510.00 for usual weekly rent due today, 27 January 2026. b. By weekly payments of $560.00, being $510.00 for rent and $50.00 for the debt on Tuesday 3 February 2026 and each Tuesday after that until the debt is paid in full.

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

If the tenant fails to pay rent and rent arrears 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

The landlord attended the hearing which was held by teleconference. The tenant couldn’t be contacted on the Nummer given in the Notice of Hearing, which was properly served.

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

Should a conditional termination order be made?

The Tribunal may terminate a tenancy for breach where, due to the nature or extent of the breach, it would be inequitable to refuse to terminate. Where the breach is capable of remedy the landlord must first serve a notice on the tenant requiring them to remedy the breach within at least 14 days, and establish that the tenant has failed to do so. See section 56(1) Residential Tenancies Act 1986.

The tenant breached her obligations by not paying the weekly rent when due.

On 2 September 2025 the landlord served a 14-day notice on the tenant but the breach was not remedied within the required period.

The rent summary shows a very inconsistent rent payment history. It would be inequitable to refuse to terminate the tenancy.

Despite my finding that it would be inequitable to refuse to terminate the tenancy, having heard the evidence and with the agreement of the landlord I have instead granted a conditional termination. See section 78(3) Residential Tenancies Act 1986.

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

The landlord’s application also seeks work orders requiring repair of damage which was the subject of a 14 day notice issued on 26 June 2025.

The application is not supported by evidence proving that the damage occurred during the tenancy and is more than fair wear and tear, making it the responsibility of the tenant.

A further inspection is due shortly and the landlord will file a further application if required then.

Because [The applicant/s] has succeeded with the claim I must reimburse the filing fee.
