The Tribunal orders suppression of the parties names and identifying details.

[The tenant/s] must pay [The landlord/s] $4,573.77 immediately, calculated as shown in table below:

The tenants must pay the debt in order 1 at the rate of $200 per week, in addition to current rent.

The first payment towards the debt is due on Wednesday 13 May 2026 and payments are due every Wednesday until the debt is paid in full.

The tenants must pay their current rent every week until the end of the tenancy.

Payments will be allocated in the following order: rent, rent arrears, water rates and the filing fee.

If the tenants fail 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.

The application for termination is dismissed.

Reasons

Both parties attended the remote hearing.

[Tenant 1] attended on behalf of all tenants, however has advised that [Tenant 2] has passed away. She will provide confirmation of the same to the landlord.

The landlord has applied for termination of the tenancy, rent arrears and water rates and refund of the bond and reimbursement of the filing fee. Termination

The Tribunal shall make an order terminating the tenancy if satisfied that the rent was, at the date the application was filed, at least 21 days in arrears. 1 As I indicated at the hearing, rent was not at least 21 days in arrears on the date the application was filed. I therefore dismiss the application for termination. Rent arrears

The tenant must pay the rent as and when it is due and payable under the tenancy agreement. 2 The landlord provided rent records which prove the amount owing as at 7 May 2026. The order for rent arrears and repayment of the rent arrears is made by consent. The tenant must pay her current rent, which is currently due for the current rent week and she advised she will make payment for rent this week. Water rates

The tenant is responsible for water consumption charges. 3 The landlord provided a water rates invoice and invoice summary in support of the claim. The tenant consented to the water rates claim. Filing fee

Because the landlord has substantially succeeded with the claim I have reimbursed the filing fee. Suppression

The Tribunal must, on the application of a party that has wholly or substantially succeeded in proceedings, order that the party’s name or identifying particulars 1 See section 55(1)(a) Residential Tenancies Act 1986. 2 See section 40 (1)(a) of the RTA. 3 See section 39 RTA. not be published, unless the Tribunal considers that publication is in the public interest or is justified because of the party’s conduct or any other circumstances of the case. 4

The Tribunal may, on the application of any party to proceedings or on its own initiative, having regard to the interests of the parties and to the public interest, order that all or part of the evidence given or the name or any identifying particulars of any witness or party not be published and may attach any conditions to that order the Tribunal considers appropriate. 5

Both parties applied for name suppression and because this order is made by consent, akin to a mediated order which would be confidential, I have suppressed both parties names and identifying details.
