Order

An application for suppression has been made in this case and the Tribunal orders suppression of the Landlord’s name and identifying details.
The Bond Centre is to pay $3,751.87 from the bond of $$4,360.00 ([Bond number suppressed]) to [The landlord/s] immediately being rent arrears of $3,731.43 and reimbursement of the filing fee of $20.44.
The balance of the bond of $608.13 is to remain at the Bond Centre.

Reasons

Both parties attended the hearing by telephone.
The landlord has applied for rent arrears and has provided rent records which prove the amount owing to the end of the tenancy on 27 August 2023 is $4,011.43.
The tenant claims that the landlord had agreed to reduce the rent in compensation for inconvenience while repairs were completed.
The landlord agreed that he had agreed to compensate the tenants with $280.00 for one week’s inconvenience. He rejected the tenant’s assertion that agreement was reached regarding further compensation.
The amount the landlord has claimed for rent arrears after deducting the agreed compensation of $280.00 is $3,731.43.
As discussed at the hearing, for the tenant to claim further compensation, the tenant needs to file an application for compensation with the Tribunal. It can then be considered at a hearing in person.
In the meantime, the landlord is to be paid the amount proven and awarded from the bond. The balance of the bond will be held pending an outcome of the tenant’s claim or the agreement of the parties or an application under section 22B RTA.
Because [The landlord/s] has wholly succeeded with the claim I must reimburse the filing fee.
