Filing Fee Rent arrears

Order

An application for suppression has been made in this case, and the Tribunal orders suppression of the Landlord name and identifying details.
Andrea Jackson owes [The landlord/s] $2,028.00 (“the debt”).
Andrea Jackson must pay rent and the debt as follows: a. By 20 fortnightly payments of $900.00, being $800.00 for rent and $100.00 for the debt. b. A final payment of $828.00, being $800.00 for rent and $28.00 for the debt. c. Payments will be every other Wednesday, with the first payment on 29/04/2026 and continuing until 03/02/2027.
Payments will be allocated in the following order: rent, rent arrears, and the filing fee.
If the tenant fails to pay rent and rent arrears within 2 working days of the due dates: a. The tenancy at 198 Botanical Road, Takaro, Palmerston North 4412 will terminate and the landlord will have immediate possession of the premises. b. The balance of the debt will be payable immediately.
If the tenant fails to pay the filing fee within 2 working days of the due date, the filing fee will be payable immediately.

Reasons

Both parties attended the hearing. The landlord attended by video and the tenant attended by telephone.
The landlord has applied for termination of the tenancy, rent arrears and refund of the bond. The tenant wants to repay the debt to avoid immediate termination.

Should a conditional termination order be made?

Where rent is at least 21 days in arrears on the date the application was filed, the Tribunal must make either a final or a conditional termination order. See section 55(1)(a) and (1A) Residential Tenancies Act 1986.
I am satisfied the tenant will pay the debt within the period specified in the order and is unlikely to commit any further relevant breach. I have granted a conditional termination order.
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.
I note that the landlord has not communicated with the tenant about the arrears since January 2026. I also note that the landlord did not provide the tenant with a rent summary other than the one filed with this application in January 2026. A landlord should be in communication with a tenant in relation to these issues. I have directed that the landlord provide the tenant with the rent summary today so that the tenant knows the situation with her rent payments.
Because [The applicant/s] has wholly succeeded with the claim I must reimburse the filing fee. For the same reason the landlord’s name is suppressed.
