Reasons

Both parties attended and participated in the resolution of their disputes.

[The landlord’s representative], acting as the agent for the property owner, exhibited professionalism in handling the issues that arose. It should be acknowledged that [The landlord’s representative] faced significant pressure due to the demand for quick remediation of flood damage from many tenants affected by flooding incidents in January 2023 and May 2023.

[The tenant/s], the tenant, should be commended for her reasonable approach throughout the proceedings, despite the inconvenience caused by being unable to reside in her home after the flooding incidents comfortably. Termination under s 51(2)(f)

The main issue brought before the hearing was [The landlord’s representative]'s application, under section 51(2)(f) of the Residential Tenancies Act, to terminate the tenancy. This termination was sought in order for the property owner to undertake necessary repairs on the premises.

[The landlord’s representative] submitted a quote and detailed the required repair work, which [The tenant/s] did not oppose. Additionally, [The tenant/s] accepted that this application was not retaliatory in nature.

In light of the circumstances, I record that [The landlord’s representative] offered the option of a "short notice" termination to [The tenant/s], allowing for a two- day notice period if necessary.

With the consent of both parties, I grant the application for termination, and the termination date was set for 12 November 2023. Compensation

[The tenant/s] sought reimbursement for various expenses incurred due to her inability to utilise parts of the property after the flooding/water ingress incidents.

The parties reached an agreement on the appropriate compensation amounts, which are as follows: a. $3,495 for flooding/water ingress; b. $45 for water rates; c. $175 for power (including dehumidifiers and blowers); and d. $200 for diesel and sewage spillage.

The total compensation in favour of [The tenant/s] is $3,915.

[The landlord’s representative] confirmed that her client would pay the compensation of $3,915 no later than 18 August 2023. Filing fee

The costs should lie where they fall, as a full and final settlement had been reached in the dispute. Name suppression

Considering the absence of public interest in disclosing the parties' identifying details and the resolution of all disputes, I order the suppression.

The suppression ensures the parties' privacy and prevents unnecessary disclosure, as there is no significant public interest in publishing their names or address. Conclusion

The hearing successfully resolved the disputes between the parties. This would not be possible without [The landlord’s representative]'s professionalism and [The tenant/s]'s reasonableness contributing to the amicable settlement reached.

I thank both parties.
