Order

[The tenant/s] must pay The Rent Shop Limited As Agent For Xiaolan Lin $522.69 immediately, calculated as shown in table below.

Reasons

The landlord has applied for rent arrears, compensation and reimbursement of the filing fee.

How much is owed for rent and water rates?

The landlord provided rent records and water rates invoices. The rent summary shows that on 14 of June 2025, one rent payment was missed and rent went into arrears to the amount of $494.69. Since then payments have been made regularly and the rent arrears has remained steady.
The tenant explained that Work and Income New Zealand pays her rent automatically and she doesn't understand how the rent payment was missed.
This claim including the amount ordered is proved.
Work and Income New Zealand has also been making a $20.00 payment per week for water rates since July 2024. On average this payment has slightly exceeded the water rates invoices. This means the unpaid water rates total reduced from July 2024 until September 2025 when the outstanding water rates was $9.32.
On the 3rd of September the tenant received a water rates invoice for $325.88. This is significantly more than the $50.00 to $90.00 month invoices she has been receiving throughout the tenancy. The tenant explained that the only reason she can see that water usage was so much higher for this month, is that contractors had been on site cementing a base for her air-conditioning unit and re-posting her fence for the entire perimeter of the property. The contractors used her water, which she noted was a point of contention at the time.
The landlord accepted the sudden jump in apparent water usage is peculiar and he asked for an opportunity to look into possible reasons. On this basis the landlord asked to withdraw today’s claim for unpaid water rates invoices with the proviso that the landlord could bring another claim in future if warranted. This is agreed.
Because The Rent Shop Limited As Agent For Xiaolan Lin has substantially succeeded with the claim I have reimbursed the filing fee.
