Party names are redacted in the official published order.
Order
- An application for suppression has been made in this case and the Tribunal orders suppression of the landlord’s name and identifying details.
- [The tenant/s] tenant/s] owes [The tenant/s] landlord/s] $5,279.00 (“the debt”) being rent arrears to 18 August 2026 of $5,250.00 and reimbursement of the filing fee of $29.00.
- [The tenant/s] tenant/s] must pay the weekly rent of $650.00 and the debt no later than 5 pm Wednesday 19 August 2026.
- Payments will be allocated in the following order: rent, rent arrears, and the filing fee.
- If the tenant fails to pay the weekly rent and rent arrears within 2 working days of the due date: a. The tenancy at 63 Burundi Avenue, Clendon Park, Auckland 2103 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
- Both parties attended the remote hearing.
- 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.
- 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.
- Because [The tenant/s] applicant/s] has wholly succeeded with the claim I must reimburse the filing fee.
