Order

An application for suppression has been made in this case, and the Tribunal orders suppression of the Landlord name and identifying details.
Petivia Kalus, Joesam Iopu and Fereti Segi owes [The landlord/s] $4,773.30 (“the debt”), per the table below:

Petivia Kalus, Joesam Iopu and Fereti Segi must pay rent and the debt as follows: a. By paying rent of $750.00 as due on Friday 15 May 2026. b. Thereafter by weekly payments of $800.00, being $750.00 for rent and $50.00 for the debt. Payments will be every Friday, with the first payment on 22/05/2026 and continuing until the debt is paid
Payments will be allocated in the following order: rent, rent arrears, water rates and the filing fee.
If the tenant fails to pay rent, rent arrears and water rates within 3 working days of the due dates: a. The tenancy at [Tenancy address suppressed] 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 landlord attended the hearing, set down to be conducted via video conference. There was no entry into the conference by the tenants, nor any call in to the conference by one of the telephone numbers provided on the Notice of Hearing. I was satisfied adequate service had completed and I continued with the hearing.
The landlord has applied for termination of the tenancy, rent arrears, water rates, and refund of the bond. The tenants want 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. Filing fee
Because [The applicant/s] has wholly succeeded with the claim I must reimburse the filing fee. Suppression
Section 95A RTA states regarding suppression orders that 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 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.
The landlord requested suppression in its application. As it has been wholly successful, suppression is ordered.
