[The tenant/s] owes Kāinga Ora–Homes And Communities $755.71 (“the debt”) being rent arrears to Monday 3 August 2026.

[The tenant/s] must pay Kāinga Ora–Homes And Communities $118.00 on Tuesday 4 August 2026 and on Tuesday every week thereafter being $88.00 towards current rent and $30.00 towards the debt in order 1 until the debt is paid in full:

Payments will be allocated to rent and then to arrears.

If the tenant fails to pay rent and rent arrears within 2 working days of the due dates: a) The tenancy at Unit/Flat Flat 5, 62 Mangere Road, Otahuhu, Auckland 1062 will terminate and the landlord will have immediate possession of the premises. b) The balance of the debt will be payable immediately.

Reasons

The applicant attended the hearing. The respondent did not.

The applicant seeks a conditional termination order, conditional upon the continuation of a payment plan which is already in place.

Where the rent was 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 ss 55(1)(a) and 55(1A) of the Residential Tenancies Act 1986.

Ordinarily, before making a conditional termination order, the Tribunal would require the respondent to be present in order to satisfy itself that the proposed payment plan is sustainable. However, in this case, having seen that a payment plan is already in place, I am able to infer from the payment history that the arrangement is one the respondent has accepted and is likely to wish to continue. The alternative would be to make an immediate termination order.

In any event, a conditional termination order places the onus on the respondent to comply with its terms if they wish to salvage their tenancy. If they do not comply, the possession order may be enforced upon default.

The applicant has provided a rent summary showing the amount owing as at 22 July 2026. I have added a further 10 days' rent to reflect the amount owing as at the date on which I have made the termination order.

The rent summary shows that, although a payment plan is in place, payments have been missed for the past two weeks. The applicant says that this does not necessarily reflect a failure by the respondent to make payment, as there have been issues affecting a large number of MSD clients whose payments are automatically redirected.

In any event, I have deferred the commencement date of the conditional termination order until 4 August 2026, which allows for two further payments to be made. This gives the respondent sufficient time to comply with the order if they wish to salvage their tenancy.

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 s 64(4)(b) of the Residential Tenancies Act 1986.
