[The tenant/s] owes [The landlord/s] 5,848.30 (the debt) calculated as shown in table below.

[The tenant/s] must make payments to [The landlord/s] to repay the debt as follows:

Weekly payments of $780, being $680 for current rent and $100 for the debt. Weekly payments will begin on Wednesday 24 December 2025 and will continue to be paid weekly each Wednesday.

All money paid will go first to current rent, then to rent arrears, then to water rates and the application fee.

If any payment of the current rent or rent arrears, is not paid within two working days of the due date as indicated in order 3) above: a) the tenancy shall terminate immediately; b) vacant possession shall be granted to [The landlord/s]; c) any remaining debt will become due and payable in full immediately;

Order 5) applies until the rent arrears of $4,165.00 are fully repaid.

If any payment of water rates arrears and filing fee is not made within two working days of the due date as indicated in 3) above, then the remaining water rates will be due and payable in full immediately.

Order 7) above applies until the water rates of $1,655.30 and filing fee of $28.00 are fully paid.

Reasons

Both parties attended the hearing.

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

The landlord provided water rates invoices and a rent arrears summary that prove the debt.

There is a second tenant on the tenancy agreement. He exited the property two months ago. The parties agree that he can be removed from the tenancy agreement and that Ms Te Whata is responsible for the debt.

Should a conditional termination order be made?

The tenant wants to repay the debt to avoid immediate termination.

The tenant says that she can pay an extra $100 per week. She has an increase in her income and she has sought budget advice. She says she is due for a payment from WINZ in four months’ time.

Looking at the rent arrears summary, in November, the tenant paid a lump sum of $3,500. She said that was because of a sum she received from WINZ>

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.

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 on the terms set out above.

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.

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