Filing Fee Rent arrears

Order

[The tenant/s] owes Kāinga Ora–Homes And Communities $636.08 (“the debt”).
[The tenant/s] must pay current rent and the debt as follows: a. By 31 weekly payments of $182.00, being $162.00 for current rent and $20.00 for the debt. b. A final payment of $178.08, being $162.00 for current rent and $16.08 for the debt. c. Payments will be every Wednesday, with the first payment on 17/06/2026 and continuing until 20/01/2027.
Payments will be allocated in the following order: current rent, rent arrears, and the filing fee.
If the tenant fails to pay rent and rent arrears within 5 working days of the due dates: a. The tenancy at Unit/Flat Unit 1, 38 Wayside Avenue, Burnside, Christchurch 8053 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 5 working days of the due date, the filing fee will be payable immediately.

Reasons

The hearing was held via video conference.
Mr Temu appeared on behalf of the landlord via video conference.
Ms Salalilo, the tenant, did not appear. I attempted to contact her using two different mobile numbers ending in 3661 and 7767, but was unsuccessful.
Ms Salalilo did not contact the Registry to explain why she could not attend or to seek an adjournment. I proceeded with the hearing in her absence.
The landlord has applied for termination of the tenancy, rent arrears and refund 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.
Mr Temu informed me that the tenant had arranged to pay her rent arrears with her case manager. This arrangement had already taken effect.
I have reviewed the rent summary, and the regular rent is now paid on time, with an additional $20 to pay off the rent arrears.
Accordingly, 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 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
Because Kāinga Ora–Homes And Communities has wholly succeeded with the claim I must reimburse the filing fee.
