Talaiasi Lafoou and Alepina Lafoou owes Patras & Co Real Estate Ltd As Agent For Ghulab Ltd $2,139.32 (“the debt”), calculated as in the table below.

Talaiasi Lafoou and Alepina Lafoou must pay rent and the debt as follows: a. By one payment of $2,989.32 by 5:00pm on Friday 5 July 2024, being $850.00 for rent up to 11/07/2024 and $2,139.32 for the debt.

Payments will be allocated in the following order: rent, rent arrears, and the filing fee.

If the tenant fails to pay rent and rent arrears within 2 working days of the due dates: a. The tenancy at 7C Maxwell Avenue, Papatoetoe, Auckland 2025 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 telephone hearing today.

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. The law

The law says that the Tribunal may end a tenancy when there is rent or other money owing to the landlord and it would be unfair not to terminate the tenancy.

The landlord must have first given the tenant a written notice telling them that there is money owing and requiring them to pay the overdue amount within a reasonable time (of no less than 14 days). See section 56(1) Residential Tenancies Act 1986. The situation

The rent ledger shows that the tenants have missed rent payments several times this year. On 23 April 2024, the landlord sent a 14-day breach notice to the tenants. The rent is one week behind calculated up to this Thursday 4 July 2024 so there is still a breach of the tenancy agreement.

The water bills ledger shows a balance of $1,268.88 owing.

The tenant explained that he is self-employed and has been affected by clients not paying him on time. He has made lump-sum payments as soon as he can.

The landlord explained that the rent has been late more often recently and that this is making it difficult for the owner. The decision

It would be unfair to refuse to terminate the tenancy because of the number of times the rent has been missed and the financial stress on the landlord.

It is fair to allow the tenant to repay the debt by this Friday 5 July 2024 which is what the tenant also agrees to.

The total amount owing for rent, water and the filing fee is $2,139.32. This is the debt up to 4 July 2024.

The next week of rent is also due on Friday, so this is an extra $850.00.

The total amount to pay this Friday is $2,989.32.

If the total amount is not paid within 2 working days of the due date, then the tenancy will terminate immediately, and the landlord will be entitled to possession.

The conditional termination order will lapse if it is fully complied with. If the tenant breaches the order, the possession order is enforceable for 90 days from the first breach. See section 64(4)(b) Residential Tenancies Act 1986.
