Filing Fee Rent arrears

Order

The Tribunal orders suppression of the Tenant and Landlord’s name and identifying details.
[The tenant/s] owes [The landlord/s] $1,262.50 (“the debt”), calculated as shown in the table below.

[The tenant/s] must pay the debt in order 2 at the rate of $100 per week. Payments are be made on a Tuesday, with the next payment due on Tuesday 26 May 2026 and continuing every Tuesday thereafter until the debt is paid in full.
If [The tenant/s] fails 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.

Reasons

Both parties attended the hearing.
The landlord has applied for rent arrears and reimbursement of the filing fee following the end of the tenancy.
The parties entered into a fixed-term tenancy commencing on 4 November 2025 and ending on 5 February 2027. The tenant vacated before the end of the fixed term.
Under section 66 of the Residential Tenancies Act 1986 (“the Act”), a fixed-term tenancy is binding for the agreed term unless ended by agreement or order of the Tribunal. Where a tenant leaves early, the tenant remains liable for the landlord’s proven losses.
The parties agreed that the landlord would advertise for replacement tenants. New tenants were secured, and the tenancy ended on 8 March 2026, the day before the new tenancy commenced.
After crediting payments already made, the outstanding balance is $1,234.50. The tenant did not dispute this amount and has agreed to repay it at $100.00 per week, payable every Tuesday.
I am satisfied the tenant breached the fixed-term tenancy by leaving early and that the landlord acted reasonably to mitigate its loss. The amount claimed is proved and is recoverable under section 77(2)(a) of the Act.
As the landlord was wholly successful, the tenant must also reimburse the filing fee of $28.00 under section 102(6).
This matter was resolved by agreement. As there are no contested findings and publication would serve little public interest, I grant name suppression for both parties under section 95A of the Act.
