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

Kellie McCulloch owes [The landlord/s] $2,348.00 (“the debt”) per the table below:

Kellie McCulloch must pay rent and the debt as follows: a. By weekly payments of $660.00, being 56$0.00 for rent and $100.00 for the debt. b. Payments of $560.00 rent will be due on Friday 20 February 2026 and then every Friday thereafter until the debt is paid. c. Payments of $100.00 towards the debt will be due on Tuesday 24 February 2026 and then every Tuesday thereafter

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 3 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 3 working days of the due date, the filing fee will be payable immediately.

Reasons

Both parties attended the hearing, conducted via video conference.

The landlord has applied for termination of the tenancy, rent arrears and refund of the bond. 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 of the hearing, after a prior failure to remedy a breach of rent arrears, the Tribunal must make either a final or a conditional termination order. See section 55(1)(a), 56(2) 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. Filing fee

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

Section 95A RTA states regarding suppression orders that the Tribunal must, on the application of a party that has wholly or substantially succeeded in proceedings, order that the party’s name or identifying particulars not be published, unless the Tribunal considers that publication is in the public interest or is justified because of the party’s conduct or any other circumstances of the case.

Further, the Tribunal may, on the application of any party to proceedings or on its own initiative, having regard to the interests of the parties and to the public interest, order that all or part of the evidence given or the name or any identifying particulars of any witness or party not be published.

The landlord requested suppression in its application. As it has been wholly successful, suppression is ordered.
