Filing Fee Rent arrears

Order

An application for suppression has been made in this case, and the Tribunal orders suppression of the parties’ names and identifying details.
The tenancy of [The tenant/s] at [Tenancy address suppressed] is terminated, and possession is granted to [The landlord/s], at 11:59pm on Thursday 26 February 2026.
[The respondent/s] [The landlord/s] $1458.00 (“the debt”) as follows:

Between now and the end of the tenancy must pay the weekly rent of $740.00 on Tuesday: 10 February 2026, 17 February 2026 and 24 February 2026.
If any of the rent payments required by Order 4 are not made within 2 working days of the due date, the tenancy will end immediately, with possession returned to [The landlord/s].

Reasons

Both parties attended the hearing which was held by video/ teleconference.
The landlord has applied for termination of the tenancy, rent and water rates arrears and refund of the bond.
The tenant wants to continue with the tenancy until the end of February.

Should a conditional termination order be made?

The tenant did not comply with the terms of a 14 day rent arrears notice. Rent was later brought up to date but then payments were missed and rent is 2 weeks behind at the date of the hearing.
The debt is calculated allowing for a rent payment and payment of outstanding water rates that the tenant says was made today but is not yet visible in the landlord’s account.
Because of the ongoing issues with rent arrears, the landlord would be entitled to an Order terminating the tenancy.
The landlord nevertheless agrees that the tenancy can continue until 26 February on the basis that rent is paid when due in the meantime, so the arrears do not increase.
That is reasonable and a consent Order is made accordingly.
The tenant aims to make additional payments to clear the debt by the end of the tenancy.
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.
Because [The applicant/s] has succeeded with the claim I must reimburse the filing fee.
