Order

The Tribunal orders suppression of the Tenants’ and Landlord’s names and identifying details.
[The tenant/s] owes [The landlord/s] $6,477.59 (“the debt”), calculated in the table below:

[The tenant/s] must pay rent and the debt as follows: a. By weekly payments of $1,000.00, being $900.00 for rent and $100.00 for the debt. The weekly rent payment of $900.00 is to continue as and when it falls due. The additional payment of $100.00 towards the debt is to be paid by Thursday each week, with the first payment is due on Thursday 7 May 2026 and will continue until . b. In addition, by lump sum payments of $1,000.00 on Thursday 21 May 2026 and $1000.00 on Thursday 18 June 2026. c. The remaining balance of the debt is to be paid in full by Thursday 16 July 2026.
Payments will be allocated in the following order: rent, rent arrears, water charges, eviction related fees and the filing fee.
If the tenants fail to pay rent and the debt within 2 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 tenants fail to pay the filing fee within 2 working days of the due date, the filing fee will be payable immediately.
At the hearing, the tenants submitted that a further payment of $2,000.00 had been made towards the rent this morning. This payment is not recorded in the rent summary provided by the landlord. Subject to verification and reconciliation of the landlord’s records, the arrears will be reduced by $2,000.00.

Reasons

Both parties attended the hearing which was held by video conference.
The landlord has applied for termination of the tenancy, rent arrears, water charges, eviction process related charges 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 tenants will pay the debt within the period specified in the order and are 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 tenants breach the order, the possession order may be enforced for 90 days from the first breach. See section 64(4)(b) Residential Tenancies Act 1986.
As the landlord has been wholly successful with the application, I must order the other party to reimburse the filing fee.
This is essentially a consent order and therefore it is reasonable to suppress the names and identifying details of both the landlord and the tenants.
