Claim	Landlord	Tenant	Reason
Communities	$2,020.72		Communities

[The tenant/s] must pay Kāinga Ora–Homes And Communities $2,020.72, being rent arrears to 16 March 2026.

The tenant must pay the debt in order 1 at the rate of $20.00 per week. These payments are in addition to her weekly rent.

The first payment must be made on Thursday, 19 March 2026 and payments must continue every Thursday until the debt is paid in full.

If the tenant fails to make any payment within 2 working days of the due date, the balance of the debt owing will be payable immediately and can be enforced through the District Court.

Reasons

A representative of the landlord attended the hearing by video.

The tenant did not join the hearing by either the video link or dial-in instructions in the Notice of Hearing. That Notice was served on the tenant at her email address for service. I am satisfied that she had adequate opportunity to attend the hearing and that it was appropriate to proceed.

The landlord has applied for rent arrears and has provided rent records which prove the amount owing.

Shortly before the hearing, the landlord asked to amend the application to include termination of the tenancy. That request was declined. The tenant is entitled to receive proper notice of the application against it and the remedy that the landlord is seeking. However, the tenant should be aware that her tenancy is at risk if she does not make the payments set out in this order.

The parties had entered into a payment plan but it seems that the tenant is having trouble making the agreed payments. The rent owing to date is $2,202.72. The tenant must pay that debt by weekly payments of $20.00 on top of her current weekly rental.

At the moment, the payments will be $186.00 per week. That may change if the weekly rent goes up or down. In any event the tenant must pay $20.00 more than the current weekly rent until this debt is paid.

The first payment must be made on Thursday, 19 March 2026 and payments must continue every Thursday until the debt is paid in full.

If the tenant fails to make any payment within 2 working days of the due date, the balance of the debt owing will be payable immediately and can be enforced through the District Court.

All payments by the tenant will be applied to current rent, then to the debt.

The landlord did not seek an order for payment of the Tribunal application fee.
