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 Kāinga Ora–Homes And Communities $2,273.72 (“the debt”), calculated as set out in the table below:

[The tenant/s] must pay rent and the debt as follows: a. By 55 weekly payments of $200.00, being $159.00 for rent and $41.00 for the debt. b. A final payment of $177.72, being $159.00 for rent and $18.72 for the debt. c. Payments will be every Tuesday, with the first payment on 09/12/2025 and continuing until 29/12/2026.

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

If the tenant fails to pay rent and rent arrears within 5 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

As agreed at the hearing today, the tenant must take a copy of this Order to his employer and ask it to set up an automatic deduction from his wages to assist him to maintain housing security by ensuring his debt repayments are made in full and on time before he receives the remainder of his wages.

The payment details for the tenant’s employer to facilitate these payments are as follows: Kāinga Ora–Homes And Communities bank account number 02-0191-0118668-000 Payment reference[Suppressed] ParticularsRent and arrears

Reasons

Both parties attended the hearing.

The landlord has applied for conditional termination of the tenancy and rent arrears. 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. I have granted 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 landlord has provided rent records which prove the amount owing. Name suppression

The tenant has given evidence that satisfies me that he got into debt due to losing his job and having a stand down period where he was not eligible for financial support from the Government. He has taken steps to find ways to repay this debt as soon as he can and has recently secured employment that will allow him to repay the dent in instalments.

I exercise my discretion to grant non-publication of his name and identifying details as the public interest in this Order is not outweighed by the detriment the tenant may suffer if his name and contact details are published.
