Tenancy Tribunal case 4636093 — Rent arrears at 213 Wordsworth Road, Clendon Park, Auckland 2103
Decided 1 Sept 2023 · Published 1 Sept 2023 · Application 4636093
- Rent arrears
Order
- No application for suppression has been made in this case and no suppression orders apply around publication of this decision.
- [The tenant/s], [The tenant/s] and [The tenant/s] must pay Barfoot & Thompson Limited As Agent For Tui Leasi $1,974.72 immediately, being rent arrears of $1,954.28 and the filing fee of $20.44.
Reasons
- The landlord attended the hearing, conducted via teleconference. Two calls to the tenants went unanswered and to voicemail. After the first call, a brief message was left introducing myself and explaining the purpose of the call. The message concluded with the advice I would try a second time after waiting some minutes. I was satisfied adequate service had completed and I continued with the hearing after the second call went unanswered.
- The landlord sought rent arrears after the tenancy ended on 13 June 2023. The total arrear at that time was $3,157.14 but that has been reduced by the bond of $2,480.00 being released to the landlord. The balance of $1,954.28 remains due and is ordered.
- The landlord has been wholly successful in its application and the application filing fee must be returned. This is ordered.
