Thank you for being so patient.
Is your tenant a month to month tenant without a lease?
Chris The Lawyer, Expert
So sorry, I noticed that you are from New Zealand. I cannot help you, because I am a US attorney. I will opt out so a NZ attorney can help you.

If she has fallen behind this far in rent, you can apply to the tenancy tribunal to have her evicted for failure to pay the rent. You can apply to the tribunal online, or if you are not comfortable with using the online system, you could file an application at the Invercargill district court, where they will put this in the tenancy system. Although there is a requirement that the property should be insulated, which came into force on 1 July this year, if otherwise the property is suitably warm using other systems, this should not be a problem

It is easier to apply to the Tribunal online but I understand if you are uncomfortable with using a computer for that
