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] owes Kāinga Ora–Homes And Communities $579.00 (“the debt”), calculated as set out in the table below:

[The tenant] must pay rent and the debt as follows: a. By 11 weekly payments of $330.00, being $279.00 for rent and $51.00 for the debt. b. A final payment of $297.00, being $279.00 for rent and $18.00 for the debt. c. Payments will be every Wednesday, with the first payment on 24/06/2026 and continuing until 09/09/2026.

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

If the tenant fails to pay rent and rent arrears within 5 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.

Reasons

The landlord attended the hearing. The tenant did not.

I am satisfied that the tenant had received proper notice of the hearing time, date and place and chose not to attend.

The landlord has applied for conditional termination of the tenancy and rent arrears. The tenant wants to repay the debt to avoid immediate termination and agreed a repayment plan with the landlord, which she has complied with since 13 May 2026.

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.

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. Name suppression

The tenant did not apply for non-publication of her name and identifying details.

The Tribunal was impressed with the tenant’s proactive approach to developing and committing to a debt repayment plan. The Tribunal uses its discretion to grant the tenant’s name suppression because it does not consider that publication is in the public interest or is justified because of the tenant’s conduct or any other circumstances of the case. The public interest in this matter is outweighed by the negative impact publication of the tenant’s name may have on his ability to obtain future rental properties.

The landlord does not object to the Tribunal exercising its discretion in this matter.

Non-publication is ordered.
