Payments will be allocated in the following order: rent, rent arrears, and the water rates.
If the tenant fails to pay rent and the debt within 2 working days of the due dates: a. The tenancy at 4 Garton Drive, Massey, Auckland 0614 will terminate and the landlord will have immediate possession of the premises. b. The balance of the debt will be payable immediately.

Only the landlord attended the hearing.
The landlord has applied for termination of the tenancy, rent arrears and water rates.
The amounts owing are set out in table above.
The landlord is prepared to allow the tenant time 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 keep up with rent payments and being in arrears in water rates. 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.
Given that it would be inequitable to refuse to terminate the tenancy, I accede to the landlord’s request for the tenant to repay the debt within the period specified in the above table. 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.
