Reasons

The landlord attended the hearing, the tenant did not attend the hearing. I rang the tenant’s mobile number on the application twice and left a message, but the calls went unanswered. The landlord provided a second mobile number which I also rang twice and left a message. The tenant did not answer any of the four calls made to him.

The tenant has been in communication with the landlord as of 18 November 2025 and offered a proposal to resolve this claim.

I am continuing with this hearing in the absence of the tenant as he was served with the notice of hearing and has failed to communicate with tenancy services seeking an adjournment. Landlords’ claims:

The landlord has applied for a conditional termination of the tenancy, rent arrears and the filing fee. 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.

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. The landlord and tenant have been in communication and have agreed that there should be a conditional termination. The tenant made the proposal for resolution of the claim and made a $1000.00 payment towards the arrears. I am granting 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.

The debt is owed, and the first payment is to be made to the landlords ASB Wolfbrook Property Management Limited’s bank account on or before 5.00pm on 28 November 2025 and every Friday after that until the debt is paid. Rent arrears:

The landlord has applied for rent arrears and has provided rent records which prove the amount owing. The tenant owes $5850.00 in rent arrears as of 24 November 2025.

I am satisfied that the landlord has proven their claim for rent arrears.

The tenant should be aware that failure to comply with this agreement will mean immediate termination, without the landlord needing to come back to the Tribunal.

Furthermore, that failure to pay the rent is a breach of his obligations to pay under the Residential Tenancies Act 1986 (RTA), and the tenancy agreement with the landlord.

Because Wolfbrooke Property Management Limited has wholly succeeded with the claim I must reimburse the filing fee.
