The balance of the bond of $741.37 is to remain at the Bond Centre.

Reasons

Both parties attended the hearing.
The landlord has applied for termination of the tenancy, rent arrears and refund of the bond.
Rent was at least 21 days in arrears on the date the application was filed. The tenancy is terminated at 11:59pm on Sunday, 22 June 2025. See section 55(1)(a) Residential Tenancies Act 1986.
The tenant has made considerable effort to pay the arrears and other amounts owed this week. It was common ground that $624.49 remains owing for water rates. The rent week ends today, but the tenant did not propose paying rent until Monday.
The landlord has previously had a conditional termination order in respect of this tenancy. The tenant did not comply with the terms of that order. It was enforced, with the bailiff attending and changing the locks. The tenant then paid the full amount owing for rent and the landlord allowed the tenancy to continue.
The rent fell into arrears again. This application was made in March. Rent was 21 days in arrears at that time. The tenant has only taken steps this week to address the amount owed. She should be given credit for making significant payments this week. But she should also have made arrangements for payment earlier; she had more than three months to do so.
At the time of the hearing $624.49 is still owed for water, with no certainty as to how that would be paid. The tenant said it would be paid today, but there was no evidence which would allow me to accept her assertion.
During the hearing the tenant sent a “Direct Message” to the landlord with a letter from MSD stating it would pay rent directly to the landlord from Monday, 23 June 2025. I have considered that letter. It is purportedly dated 18 June but is named “28 March 2025 Client....”. The landlord forwarded the letter to the Tribunal during the hearing.
Even accepting the letter at face value, I am not inclined to grant a second conditional order in respect of this tenancy. The landlord has provided the tenant with many opportunities to address arrears and remain at the property. The landlord now wants possession and is entitled to a termination and possession order.
The landlord provided rent records and water rates invoices which prove the amount owing at the end of the tenancy.
