Order

Mere Owen owes Inspire Real Estate Limited As Agent For David & Toniette Salt / Castle Hill Properties Ltd $720.73 (“the debt”).
Mere Owen must pay the debt in full by no later than 4pm on Friday 16 May 2025.
If the tenant fails to pay the debt within 2 working days of the due date: a. The tenancy at Unit/Flat 4, 25 Solveig Place, Randwick Park, Auckland 2105 will terminate and the landlord will have immediate possession of the premises. b. The balance of the debt will be payable immediately.
This order incorporates the Tribunal order made on 1 July 2024 under application TT 4884481.

Reasons

The landlord attended the remote hearing.
The tenant did not attend the hearing by Teams video link. Telephone calls were made to the tenant on the number provided in the application to the Tribunal and to a second number provided by the landlord during the hearing. There was no response to any of the telephone calls. The Tribunal may hear matters in the absence of a party where satisfied that notice of the hearing has been given. I am satisfied that notice of the hearing has been given.
The landlord has applied for termination of the tenancy, water rates arrears and refund of the bond. The tenant wants to repay the debt to avoid immediate termination.

Should a conditional termination order be made?

The Tribunal may terminate a tenancy for breach where, due to the nature or extent of the breach, it would be inequitable to refuse to terminate. Where the breach is capable of remedy the landlord must first serve a notice on the tenant requiring them to remedy the breach within at least 14 days, and establish that the tenant has failed to do so. See section 56(1) Residential Tenancies Act 1986.
The tenant breached their obligations by failing to pay water rates. On 6 September 2024, the landlord served a 14-day notice on the tenant, but the breach was not remedied within the required period. It would be inequitable to refuse to terminate the tenancy. The landlord has previously applied to the Tribunal for an order for water rates. On 1 July 2024 an order was made that the tenant pay the water rates arrears within a specified. The order was made by consent of the parties. The tenant did not comply with that order. No water rates have been paid by the tenant in the subsequent months. The total amount of water rates now owing by the tenant is $700.29.
Despite my finding that it would be inequitable to refuse to terminate the tenancy, having heard the evidence I am satisfied the tenant will pay the debt within the period specified in the order and is unlikely to commit any further breach. I have granted a conditional termination. See section 78(3) Residential Tenancies Act 1986.
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.
On 1 July 2024 the Tribunal made an order relating to this tenancy, for water rates arrears. The previous order is incorporated into this order for enforcement purposes.
