Reasons

The landlord attended the hearing on 11 August 2026. The tenant did not attend.

The landlord has applied for termination of the tenancy, rent arrears and outgoings. The landlord requested the Tribunal to consider making a conditional termination order.

As the applicant, the landlord must prove their claim to the civil law standard of proof, on the balance of probabilities.

Should a conditional termination order be made?

The landlord applied to end the tenancy under section 56 Residential Tenancies Act 1986 (RTA). By the date of the hearing, rent arrears were $3,621.40 (39 days). Because rent is more than 21 days in arrears on the date of the hearing, I must make a final or conditional termination order. 1

The landlord gave evidence that they have been advised that the tenant is currently experiencing a serious health issue which has resulted in a lengthy hospital stay. The tenant’s health is affecting their ability to work, which is the reason rent arrears have accumulated. The tenant has advised the landlord they are in the process of seeking assistance from Work and Income New Zealand (WINZ) and need more time for this to occur. I accept the landlord’s evidence. 1 Residential Tenancies Act 1986, section 56(2) and 55(1A).

I consider it likely that WINZ will assist the tenant to pay the arrears and meet their rental obligations in the future given the circumstances. For this reason, I choose to make 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. 2

How much does the tenant owe in rent arrears?

The landlord submitted a rent summary, which proves rent arrears are $3,900.00 up to 14 August 2026, which is the end of the most recent rent week.

How much does the tenant owe in outstanding water rates invoices?

The landlord submitted a water invoice summary and copies of original invoices from Watercare, which prove the tenant owes $141.18 in outstanding water rates invoices for the period 04/05/2026 – 02/07/2026. Filing fee

Because Oaks Property Management Limited As Agent For Rnk Sen Group Limited has wholly succeeded with the claim I must reimburse the filing fee.
