Filing Fee Rent arrears

Order

The applicants details are suppressed.
Lama Lui owes [The landlord/s] $4,428.00 (“the debt”) calculated as shown in the table below.
Lama Lui must pay [The landlord/s] $480.00 on Wednesday 17 June 2026 and on Wednesday every week thereafter being $380.00 towards current rent and $100.00 towards the debt in order 2 until the debt is paid in full.
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 Unit/Flat Flat 2, 585 Queen Street East, Levin, Levin 5510 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

The applicant attended the hearing. The respondent did not.
The landlord has applied for termination of the tenancy, rent arrears and refund of the bond. They tell me the respondent has been making extra payments and they are happy to continue the tenancy if the extra payments continue and they have the security of a conditional order.
In support of their application the landlord has provided rent records showing the amounts owing. I am satisfied these records are correct.
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.
Usually, the respondent must be present for the tribunal to make a conditional order so that it can satisfy itself of the sustainability of the arrangement. However in this case that can be inferred from the respondents payment history. This inference is to the advantage of the respondent and places the onus on them. If they default, their tenancy will be terminated and the balance will be due immediately.
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.
Because [The applicant/s] have succeeded with their claim I have reimbursed the filing fee and granted their application for suppression..
