Reasons

The landlord attended the hearing. The tenant did not attend the hearing. I rang the tenant on her mobile, but the call went unanswered. The tenant has not communicated with the Tribunal seeking an adjournment and has been served with the notice of hearing. I am proceeding with the hearing in her absence.

The landlord has applied for a conditional termination of the tenancy and rent arrears. The tenant wants to repay the debt to avoid immediate termination. Despite the tenant not attending the hearing the landlord and tenant have an arrangement that the tenant pays an extra $20.00 per week towards the arrears in addition to the rent.

The tenant has been adhering to this arrangement for some while. Therefore, I accept that the tenant wants to stay at the property and pay off the arrears.

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 applied for rent arrears and has provided rent records which prove the amount of $439.14 owing in rent arrears.

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

The landlord seeks the suppression of the tenant’s name and identifying details. As the rent arrears are under an arrangement and being repaid, I see no public interest in the name of the tenant being published. I am granting suppression of the tenant’s name and identifying details.
