Order

An application for suppression has been made in this case, and the Tribunal orders suppression of the [Landlord] name and identifying details.
[The tenant/s] owes [The landlord/s] $14,641.36 (“the debt”).
[The tenant/s] must pay current rent and the debt as follows: a. By 29 weekly payments of $1,250.00, being $750.00 for current rent and $500.00 for the debt. b. A final payment of $891.36, being $750.00 for current rent and $141.36 for the debt. c. Payments will be every Friday, with the first payment on 10/07/2026 and continuing until 29/01/2027.
Payments will be allocated in the following order: current rent, rent arrears, and the filing fee.
If the tenant fails to pay current rent and rent arrears within 2 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.
If the tenant fails to pay the filing fee within 2 working days of the due date, the filing fee will be payable immediately.

Reasons

The hearing was conducted by teleconference.
[The landlord], the property manager, attended the hearing on the landlord’s behalf.
Ms Thomas, the tenant, attended the hearing on her own behalf.
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.
Since the application was filed, Ms Thomas's circumstances have changed. She has obtained part-time employment, which has improved her financial position and her capacity to meet her ongoing rental obligations. While rent arrears remain a matter of concern, Ms Thomas should be afforded a final opportunity to remedy the breach by complying with the conditions of the order.
Accordingly, I am satisfied Ms Thomas 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 [The applicant/s] has wholly succeeded with the application, I must reimburse the filing fee. Name suppression
Because [The applicant/s] has wholly succeeded in the proceedings, I have granted the name suppression.
