Filing Fee Rent arrears

Order

Pirai Margaret Laura Pairama owes Kāinga Ora–Homes And Communities $2,774.00 (“the debt”) being rent arrears up to and including 15 June 2026 and the filing fee calculated as set out below:
Pirai Margaret Laura Pairama must pay rent and the debt as follows: a. By 106 weekly payments of $116.00, being $90.00 for rent and $26.00 for the debt; b. A final payment of $108.00, being $90.00 for rent and $18.00 for the debt; and c. Payments will be every Tuesday, with the first payment on 16/06/2026 and continuing until 27/06/2028.
Payments will be allocated in the following order: rent, rent arrears, and the filing fee.
If the tenant fails to pay rent and rent arrears within 5 working days of the due dates: a. The tenancy at 65 Sladden Street, Naenae, Lower Hutt 5011 will terminate and the landlord will have immediate possession of the premises; and b. The balance of the debt will be payable immediately.
If the tenant fails to pay the filing fee within 5 working days of the due date, the filing fee will be payable immediately.

Reasons

A representative of the landlord attended the hearing, which was conducted by video conference. The tenant did not join the conference. An attempt was made to contact her by telephone, but it was unsuccessful. The tenant has not communicated with the Tribunal as to why she would not attend the hearing, and the hearing proceeded in the tenant’s absence.
The landlord has applied for termination of the tenancy and rent arrears.

Should a conditional termination order be made?

The landlord has provided a rent summary which proves the amount of rent owing, and that rent is at least 21 days in arrears. 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) of the Residential Tenancies Act 1986 (RTA.)
The landlord has requested a conditional termination order.
The tenant did not attend the hearing. However, the landlord advised, and I can see from the rent summary, that since February 2026 the tenant has been making regular rent payments and payments to pay the debt. For this reason, 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) of the RTA.)
The landlord has wholly succeeded with the claim. For this reason, I must order reimbursement of the filing fee.
