Reasons

The hearing was conducted remotely on Microsoft Teams.

Ryan Meecham attended the hearing for the landlord.

The tenant attended for herself.

The landlord has applied for termination of the tenancy, rent arrears, reimbursement of the filing fee and refund of the bond.

Rent was not at least 21 days in arrears on the date the application was filed because the tenant paid $570.00 on the very day the application was filed. The tenancy therefore cannot be terminated under s 55(1)(a) of the Residential Tenancies Act 1986.

The Tribunal may terminate a tenancy for breach where due to the nature or extent of the breach, it would be inequitable to refuse to terminate pursuant to s 56(1) Residential Tenancies Act 1986. Where the breach is capable of remedy the landlord must first serve a notice on the tenant requiring them to remedy the breach within at least 14 days and establish that the tenant has failed to do so.

The landlord served a 14-day notice on the tenant and the tenant did not remedy the breach within the required period. However, the landlord did not file a memorandum asking to amend its claim to a claim under s 56(1). Therefore, I am not prepared to apply s 56(1) to terminate. Nor would be inequitable to refuse to terminate the tenancy because the tenant has reduced the arrears and agrees to pay rent weekly and the arrears off at the rate of $50.00 per week.

Mr Meecham provided rent records which prove the amount owing for unpaid rent.

The tenant must reimburse the filing fee.

I order non-publication of the tenant’s identifying details pursuant to s 95(4) of the Act because the tenant has had genuine income issues beyond her control and has not been before the Tribunal before. It is not in the public interest to unnecessarily burden her with the possibility of future difficulties in finding rental accommodation due to publication given she is going to pay rent and the arrears.

The matter can be brought on before me at short notice if the tenant breaches this order.
