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

[The tenant/s] owes [The landlord/s] $7,492.29 (“the debt”).

[The tenant/s] must pay rent and the debt as follows: a. By weekly payments of $850.00, being $650.00 for rent and $200.00 for the debt. b. Payments will be every Wednesday, with the first payment on 08/07/2026 and continuing until 24/03/2027.

If the tenant fails to pay the filing fee within 3 working days of the due date, the filing fee will be payable immediately.

Reasons

[ Property manager] appeared for the landlord via video. The tenant appeared by telephone.

The landlord has applied for termination of the tenancy for rent arrears of at least 21 days as at the date of filing the application. The tenant wishes to repay the debt to avoid immediate termination. The landlord supports the making of a conditional order.

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 (Act).

A conditional termination order gives the tenant a final chance to remedy the rent arrears and keep their tenancy, but if they fail to comply, the tenancy will be terminated without further need for a hearing. Before the Tribunal makes a conditional termination order, it must be satisfied, on the balance of probabilities, that the tenant will pay the rent arrears within the specified period and is unlikely to commit further similar breaches. Analysis and decision

The landlord has provided an up-to-date rent summary. I am satisfied that the rent was at least 21 days in arrears when the application was filed. I am satisfied that there are grounds to terminate the tenancy.

The tenant states that they have been unwell and have recently returned to work. They state that since the filing of the application, they have arranged to pay the weekly rent of $650.00 and $200.00 toward the debt. They state that, should they be able to pay more or pay the debt in full, they will endeavour to do so. The landlord confirms that an agreement has been reached. The up-to-date rent summary shows the weekly payments and additional debt payments.

I am satisfied the tenant will pay the debt as 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) of the Act. Costs

Because [The applicant/s] has substantially succeeded with the claim I have reimbursed the filing fee. Name suppression

Section 95A of the Act provides that on the application of a party that has been wholly or substantially successful in proceedings, the Tribunal must order that their name or identifying particulars of that party not be published, unless the Tribunal considers that it is in the public interest to publish the names of the parties, or is justified because of the parties’ conduct, or any other circumstances of the case.

The landlord has been substantially successful, seeks, and is granted name suppression. The tenant has avoided immediate termination and, in my opinion, has therefore also been substantially successful. I therefore order suppression of their name and the address of the property.
