Order

Irirangi Tui Karehana and Rawiri Teua Matiu Harrison owes Fair Rentals Limited as agent for Chaudhary Properties Limited $3,682.62 (“the debt”) as calculated in the table below:
Irirangi Tui Karehana and Rawiri Teua Matiu Harrison must continue to pay the weekly rent and pay the debt in full by 20 August 2025.
Payments will be allocated in the following order: rent, the debt.
If the tenant fails to pay rent and the debt within 2 working days of the due dates: a. The tenancy at 9 Montana Place, Papakura, Papakura 2110 will terminate and the landlord will have immediate possession of the premises. b. The balance of the debt will be payable immediately.

Reasons

The landlord attended the hearing. The tenants did not attend the hearing and did not respond when telephoned on the numbers ending in 940 and 945.
The landlord has applied for termination of the tenancy, rent arrears and refund of the bond. The landlord wants to give the tenants additional time to pay the outstanding debt amount 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 (RTA).
The tenants breached their obligations by failing to pay outstanding rent and water rates. On 24 April 2025 the landlord served a 14-day notice on the tenants, but the breach was not remedied within the required period. It would be inequitable to refuse to terminate the tenancy due to the high amount of outstanding water rates and rent arrears.
Despite my finding that it would be inequitable to refuse to terminate the tenancy, having heard the evidence I am satisfied the tenants 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) RTA.
The conditional termination order will lapse if it is fully complied with. If the tenants breach the order, the possession order is enforceable for 90 days from the first breach. See section 64(4)(b) RTA.
Because Fair Rentals Limited as agent for Chaudhary Properties Limited has wholly succeeded with the claim I must reimburse the filing fee. R Harvey-Lane 07 July 2025
