DescriptionLandlord Rent arrears to 29/06/2026$7,472.00 Total award$7,472.00 Total payable by Tenant to Landlord$7,472.00

Reasons

Only the applicant landlord attended the hearing which took place by videoconference.

The landlord has applied for termination of the tenancy and rent arrears. The tenant wants to repay the debt to avoid immediate termination.

Both parties attended the previous hearings on 25 May 2026 and 23 June 2026. The previous hearings were adjourned at the tenant’s request to enable him to resolve his income related rent review and to seek assistance from MSD/WINZ with the arrears.

The landlord advised that the rent arrears have not been paid and they have had no communication from MSD or from the tenant since the last hearing. The landlord provided an up to date rent summary proving that the rent arrears to 29 June 2026 remain at $7472.00.

The tenant did not attend today, however, given the tenant’s past engagement the landlord does not seek immediate termination today but seeks a conditional termination order today to give the tenant one more opportunity to resolve matters.

The landlord seeks a conditional termination order for payment of the full debt within 7 days.

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.

If the tenant obtains the assistance he is seeking 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 and order the tenant to pay the full rent debt within 7 working days being before the end of Thursday 2 July 2026.

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. Suppression

The Tribunal may on the application of any party or on its own initiative make a suppression order, having regard to the interests of the parties and to the public interest. Section 95A (4) Residential Tenancies Act 1986. Having considered the factors in this case including the personal health and family circumstances of the tenant at the time the debt arose the Tribunal orders suppression of all party identifying details in any publication of this order.
