[The tenant/s] tenant/s] owes Property Brokers Limited As Agent For Hemant & Rekha Kumar $2,067.57 (“the debt”) calculated as shown in the table below:

[The tenant/s] tenant/s] must pay rent and the debt as follows: a. By 8 weekly payments of $450.00, being $360.00 for rent and $90.00 for the debt. b.

If the tenant fails to pay the filing fee within 2 working days of the due date, the filing fee will be payable immediately.

When the debt has been pain in full the conditional termination order will lapse.

Reasons

On 18 August 2026 the landlord filed an application with the Tribunal seeking termination of the tenancy, rent arrears, refund of the bond and reimbursement of the filing fee.

The hearing proceeded by way of video conference. Mr Liam Hawkes, Property Manager, was joined to the hearing by telephone. The tenant failed to appear. The Tribunal was satisfied the tenant was properly served with the notice of hearing and the case proceeded in their absence.

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.

The landlord has provided up to date rent records that prove the amount owing. At the date of filing the tenant’s rent arrears totalled $1,408.55. Rent was at least 21 days in arrears. At the date of hearing the tenant’s rent arrears total $2,038.57. There is sufficient evidence to order termination of the tenancy.

However, at the hearing the landlord told the Tribunal they did not seek immediate termination of the tenancy. The landlord asked for a conditional termination order. The landlord wants the rent and rent arrears paid and the parties have agreed a payment arrangement to clear the arrears to avoid an immediate termination of the tenancy.

The tenant has arranged for WINZ to pay her rent and $90.00 towards the arrears every week from her benefit. This payment arrangement commenced on 1 September 2026 as evidenced by the rent records. The landlord said they have sighted a letter from WINZ confirming the payments and the benefit re-direction are in place.

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 tenancy is to continue on the condition that the tenant complies with the agreed repayment plan in addition to meeting all ongoing rent obligations as they fall due. 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. Other matters

Because Property Brokers Limited As Agent For Hemant & Rekha Kumar has wholly succeeded with the claim I must reimburse the filing fee.

Despite being wholly successful the landlord did not seek name suppression.
