Order

An application for suppression has been made in this case, and the Tribunal orders suppression of the tenant’s name and identifying details.
[The tenant/s] must pay Kāinga Ora–Homes And Communities $1,242.53 immediately, calculated as shown in table below:
The tenant must pay the debt in order two at the rate of $25.00 per week.
The first payment must be made on Tuesday 19 May 2026 and payments must continue every Tuesday until the debt is paid in full.
If the tenant fails to make any payment within five 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

On 29 January 2026, the landlord filed an application seeking rent arrears and compensation following the end of the tenancy.
The hearing proceeded by way of video conference. Ms Jenni Davis, Senior Tribunal Adviser appeared for the landlord. The tenant appeared.
At the commencement of the hearing the tenant accepted the landlord’s claims in full. The Tribunal heard the tenant had been moved from the property after being the victim of serious violence and, due to their injuries, had been unable to return the property in a reasonably clean and tidy condition at the end of the tenancy. This was accepted by the landlord.
The tenant told the Tribunal they had tried on multiple occasions to enter into a payment plan with their landlord to pay off the vacated debt. However, they had been prevented from doing so by a staff member who said the matter needed to be determined and formalised by the Tribunal.
This order is therefore made by consent.
The tenant seeks name suppression citing safety concerns. The application for suppression was supported by the landlord. Having heard from both parties, the Tribunal is satisfied that it is appropriate to order suppression of the tenant’s name and identifying details, see section 95A of the Residential Tenancies Act 1986.
