The Bond Centre is to pay the bond of $660.00 ([Bond number suppressed]) to [The landlord/s] immediately.

Reasons

The landlord attended the hearing. There was no appearance by the tenants.
This was a continuation hearing after the first hearing was adjourned for further service on the tenants. The landlord has failed to locate either tenant and sought a waiver of service requirements. Having heard of the way this tenancy ended and the subsequent attempts of the landlord to resolve this directly with the tenants, I dispensed with the requirement for service per s 91B (2)(c) Residential tenancies Act 1986 (“RTA”).
The landlord has applied for rent arrears, compensation, and refund of the bond. No reimbursement of the filing fee was sought.

How much is owed for rent and water rates?

The tenancy ended on 15 January 2023. This date is earlier than the prior end date of 2 February 2023 via a landlord notice to terminate but both tenants has vacated by that date and the landlord commenced remedial work from 16 January 2023 after taking possession.
The landlord provided rent records and water rates invoices which prove the amount owing at the end of the tenancy. The summary was produced for each tenant but this order aggregates those into the single total ordered here.
The water ates was established and evidenced via invoices and a final read/calculation. These are accepted and the final total of $214.28 is awarded.

The tenants did not leave the premises reasonably clean and tidy, and did not remove all rubbish.
The landlord provided invoices and a series of photos from the exit that support the effort and cost reflected in the invoices. The total amount sought as compensation for cleaning and rubbish removal is $849.83 and this is awarded in full.
The amounts ordered are proved.
The evidence also showed significant damage to a number of walls but no claims were made as the owner already planned to reline the entire premises. Suppression
Section 95A RTA states regarding suppression orders that the Tribunal must, on the application of a party that has wholly or substantially succeeded in proceedings, order that the party’s name or identifying particulars not be published, unless the Tribunal considers that publication is in the public interest or is justified because of the party’s conduct or any other circumstances of the case.
