Order

Calum Lese Vili, Mau Vaofusi and Levi Vili owe Tbt Property Management Limited As Agent For Niven Brown $3,615.83 (“the debt”) as set out in table below.

Calum Lese Vili, Mau Vaofusi and Levi Vili must pay the debt of $3,615.83 on Monday 11 May 2026.
If the tenant fails to pay the debt of $3,615.83 within 2 working days of the due date: a. The tenancy at 78 Friedlanders Road, Manurewa, Auckland 2102 will terminate and the landlord will have immediate possession of the premises. b. The balance of the debt will be payable immediately.

Reasons

Only the landlord attended the hearing.
The landlord has applied for termination of the tenancy, rent arrears, water rates and refund of the bond.
The landlord is prepared to allow the tenant one last opportunity to repay the debt to avoid immediate termination.

Should a conditional termination order be made?

The Tribunal may terminate a tenancy for breach where, due to the nature or extent of the breach, it would be inequitable to refuse to terminate. Where the breach is capable of remedy the landlord must first serve a notice on the tenant requiring them to remedy the breach within at least 14 days, and establish that the tenant has failed to do so. See section 56(1) Residential Tenancies Act 1986.
The tenant breached their obligations by failing to pay rent and water rates outstanding. The landlord served a 14-day notice on the tenant but the breach was not remedied within the required period. It would be inequitable to refuse to terminate the tenancy.
The rent is now 15 days in arrears and on Sunday 10 May 2026, the rent will be 21 days in arrears. The water rates outstanding are substantial. Together they exceed the bond.
Despite my finding that it would be inequitable to refuse to terminate the tenancy, having heard the evidence I am satisfied the tenant is given one final opportunity to repay the debt within the period specified in the order.
I have granted a conditional termination as requested by the landlord. See section 78(3) Residential Tenancies Act 1986.
The conditional termination order will lapse if it is fully complied with. If the tenant breaches the order, the possession order is enforceable for 90 days from the first breach. See section 64(4)(b) Residential Tenancies Act 1986.
