Reasons

Mr Joy, representing the landlord, and Mrs Peries, representing the tenants, and her support person, Mr Rae, all attended the hearing by video conference and phone conference respectively.

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

The issue of whether a conditional termination order could be considered was discussed during the hearing. The landlord has issued at least three notices, dated 3 November 2025, 11 November 2025 and 1 December 2025, asking the tenants to remedy the rent arrears, which they failed to do so. The landlord provided copies of these notices. The tenant said they could pay the full amount owing in rent arrears by Thursday 12 February 2025. The landlord was opposed to the making of a conditional termination order.

Before making a conditional termination order, the Tribunal must be satisfied that the rent arrears owing would be paid within a reasonable time and that the tenant is unlikely to breach rent payments again. See section 55(1A) Residential Tenancies Act 1986 (RTA).

Based on the evidence of the notices issued by the landlord to the tenant about remedying the rent arrears, and the inconsistent rent payments by the tenant shown in the rent summary provided, I am not satisfied that it is likely the tenants would not commit any further breaches of rent payments. As such, I decline to make a conditional termination order.

Rent was at least 21 days in arrears on the date the application was filed. The tenancy is terminated. See section 55(1)(a) Residential Tenancies Act 1986.

How much rent is owed?

The landlord provided rent records which prove the amount owing to 4 February 2026, which is $2,742.86. Weekly rent is $400.00 so one week’s rent @ $400.00 is added for the period from 5 February 2026 to 11 February 2026, to come to a total of $3,142.86 owing by the tenant to the landlord up to 11 February 2026, which is the end of the tenancy.

The tenant said they had made a rent payment of $800.00 the day before the hearing, on 3 February 2026, which was not reflected on the landlord’s rent summary, but they did not provide any proof of this, by way of a screenshot of the payment for example. As such, due to insufficient additional supporting evidence from the tenant of this, I find the tenant owes the landlord a total of $3,142.86 in rent to the end of the tenancy. Obviously, if the tenant paid a further $800.00 on 3 February 2026, which is then received by the landlord, this sum can be accounted for later in the balance of rent arrears owing by the tenant. Filing fee

As the landlord has been successful with the claim, I must reimburse the filing fee to the landlord.
