Order
- Chavez Kerehoma owes Karina Wilkinson $3,860.00 (“the debt”) being rent arrears to 21/01/2025.
- Chavez Kerehoma must pay Karina Wilkinson $1,390.00 on Wednesday 21 January 2025 and on Wednesday every fortnight thereafter, being $1,040.00 for two weeks rent in advance and $350.00 towards the debt in order 1 until the debt is paid in full.
- Payments will be allocated to rent and then rent arrears.
- If the tenant fails to pay rent and rent arrears within 2 working days of the due dates: a. The tenancy at 195 Cambridge Street, Levin, Levin 5510 will terminate and the landlord will have immediate possession of the premises. b. The balance of the debt will be payable immediately.
Reasons
- Both parties attended the hearing.
- 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 applicant agreed.
- The orders above reflect the agreement reached.
Should a conditional termination order be made?
- Where rent is at least 21 days in arrears on the date the application was filed, the Tribunal must make either a final or a conditional termination order. See section 55(1)(a) and (1A) Residential Tenancies Act 1986.
- I am satisfied the tenant will pay the debt within the period specified in the order and is unlikely to commit any further relevant breach. I have granted a conditional termination order.
- The conditional termination order will lapse if it is fully complied with. If the tenant breaches the order, the possession order may be enforced for 90 days from the first breach. See section 64(4)(b) Residential Tenancies Act 1986.
