The landlord has provided a rent ledger setting out the rent owned at the tenancy, and the relevant arrears. The tenants do not dispute the rent arrears claimed by the landlord. The rent arrears owed as of 14 August 2022 (the end of the tenancy) is established and ordered in full.
The landlord has claimed electricity costs. Tenants are liable to pay the utility costs for utilities like electricity which is separately metered to the premises. The landlord has established this claim which is ordered in full.

The filing fee is to be paid by the tenants, given the landlord has been successful in its claim.
