Filing Fee Rent arrears

Order

An application for suppression has been made in this case, and the Tribunal orders suppression of the Landlord’s name and identifying details.
Ayalla Katillea Buchanan owes [The landlord/s] $4,476.57 (“the debt”), as calculated in the table below.
Ayalla Katillea Buchanan must pay rent and the debt as follows: a. By making fortnightly payments of $1080.00, being $880.00 for rent and $220.00 for the debt. b. Payments will be every second Monday, with the first payment on Monday 10 May 2026 and continuing until the whole of the debt is cleared.
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, 65 Judd Crescent, Naenae, Lower Hutt 5011 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 which was held by video conference.
The landlord has applied for termination of the tenancy, rent arrears, reimbursement of the filing fee and payment 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.
After discussion at today’s hearing, 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. This is because she has undertaken to put the fortnightly payments on an automatic payment system from her bank.
I have therefore 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 reimbursement
I am also ordering the tenant to reimburse the filing fee to the landlord because the landlord was wholly successful with this claim against her. Suppression of landlord’s name
For the same reason I am allowing the landlord’s application for suppression of their name and identifying details. C ter Haar 06 May 2026
