Order
- This order has been made by consent of the parties.
- Lingikoni Ale and Vaikoloa Uepi Ale owe Wongeoon Vast Limited $1,336.96 (the debt), calculated as shown in the table below.
- They must pay the debt at the rate of $30 per week.
- The first payment must be made on Wednesday 1 April 2026 and payments must continue every Wednesday until the debt is paid in full.
- If the tenant fails to make any payment within 2 working days of the due date, the balance of the debt owing will be payable immediately and can be enforced through the District Court.
- The Bond Centre is to pay the bond of $25.54 (5676129-006) to Wongeoon Vast Limited immediately.
Reasons
- Both parties attended the hearing.
- The landlord has applied for rent arrears, compensation, payment of the bond, and reimbursement of the filing fee following the end of the tenancy.
- Rent arrears and the cost of replacing the heat pump remote have been paid from the bond following a mediation. The remaining claims were for glass damage, painting, cleaning and rubbish removal and gardening.
- The landlord withdrew the claims for glass damage and cleaning.
- After some discussion of the claims for painting and rubbish removal and gardening, the parties agreed on $862.50 for painting and $500 for rubbish removal and gardening.
- The landlord did not seek payment of the filing fee.
- The parties agreed on a payment arrangement.
- I have therefore made an order based on the parties’ agreement.
- The remaining bond will be paid to the landlord.
