A woman has been ordered to repay $10,000 in rent arrears after a court heard she had not paid rent since April 2020.

Landlord Simon Kennedy brought the case before Magistrate Ngaio Emanuel, seeking to recover $9,000 in unpaid rent. Legal fees pushed the total to $10,000.

Magdalene Prince, who still occupies the property, represented herself and admitted she was behind on payments, though she said she had resumed paying rent.

Her initial offer to repay $150 monthly was rejected as inadequate. A compromise was later reached for her to pay $300 a month. If she is unable to meet the terms, the court will help relocate her.

The first payment is due at Kennedy’s attorney’s office at the end of June.
