An application for suppression has been made in this case, and the Tribunal orders suppression of the tenant’s name and identifying details.

[The tenant/s] owes Kāinga Ora–Homes And Communities $2,287.43 (“the debt”) as calculated in the table below:

[The tenant/s] must pay rent and the debt as follows: a. By 60 weekly payments of $200.00, being $162.00 for rent and $38.00 for the debt. b. A final payment of $169.43, being $162.00 for current rent and $7.43 for the debt. c. Payments will be every Thursday, with the first payment on 02/07/2026 and continuing until 26/08/2027.

Payments will be allocated in the following order: rent then rent arrears.

If the tenant fails to pay rent and rent arrears within five 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.

When the debt has been paid in full the conditional termination order will lapse.

Reasons

On 9 March 2026 the landlord filed an application seeking termination of the tenancy for rent arrears.

The hearing proceeded by way of video conference. Ms Roberta Perese, Senior Tribunal Adviser, appeared for the landlord. The tenant was joined to the hearing by telephone.

Should a conditional termination order be made?

At the hearing, the landlord told the Tribunal they did not seek immediate termination of the tenancy. The landlord asked for a conditional termination order. The landlord wants the rent and rent arrears paid and the tenant wants to pay the rent debt to avoid immediate termination of their tenancy.

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.

The landlord has provided up to date rent records that prove the amount owed. At the date of filing the tenant’s rent arrears totalled $972.00. The rent was at least 21 days in arrears. At the date of hearing the tenant’s rent arrears totalled $2,287.43. The tenant did not dispute the rent records.

There is sufficient evidence to order termination of the tenancy for rent arrears. However, I have been persuaded 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 the tenant’s income issues have been resolved. The tenant said she has successfully arranged for her benefit payments to be reinstated. On Wednesday 1 July 2026 she has an appointment with Work and Income to sign documents to have her rent paid directly to the landlord. The tenant has committed to pay her rent plus an additional $38.00 per week towards the arrears to avoid immediate termination of her tenancy.

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 tenancy is to continue on the condition that the tenant complies with the agreed repayment plan in addition to meeting all ongoing rent obligations as they fall due. 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. Other matters

Under section 95A of the Act a party who has been either wholly or substantially successful is entitled to name suppression unless the Tribunal finds that there are reasons relating to the conduct of the party not to do so.

In the interests of fairness and privacy, and given the tenant’s willingness to resolve the matter, I consider it reasonable that the tenant’s name and identifying detailed be suppressed.
