Filing Fee Rent arrears Water Rates

Order

Jededah Holland must pay Property Management Services $797.92 immediately, calculated as shown in table below.
The Bond Centre is to pay the bond of $1,440.00 (5844668-003) to Property Management Services immediately.

Reasons

Both parties attended the hearing.
The landlord has applied for rent arrears, compensation, refund of the bond, and reimbursement of the filing fee following the end of the tenancy.

How much is owed for rent and water rates?

The tenant signed a one-year fixed-term tenancy that was to end on 22 November 2018.
In July 2018 the tenant asked the property manager if he could be released early from the tenancy.
On 13 August 2013 the property manager responded to a text from the tenant with: “How about I get approval for 3 weeks from Friday.” The tenant responded with “Yep, no problem. 3 weeks from Friday sounds fine.”
On 16 August 2018 the property manager texted the tenant to say the landlord was happy to work with a three-week timeframe but the house needed to look presentable. This referred to the carpet-layers having moved the tenant’s belongings into the kitchen. The tenant texted to the property manager: “Hey Hadi, am happy to move my stuff ASAP but I would expect to have the lease terminated for that to happen”. This text from the tenant indicates that the tenancy end date hadn’t been agreed, and that the tenant was waiting on confirmation of the end date.
Despite the willingness of the property manager to work with the tenant to end the tenancy early, a specific end date for the tenancy was never confirmed. Instead, discussions moved towards replacing the carpet, moving furniture around, and removing rubbish.
On 3 September 2018 the tenant texted: “Hi Hadi, sorry for the slow reply I have been in bed for the last few days with the flu. I will take the house for one more week and move all my stuff out on Saturday if that works?”
The next text was from the property manager on 22 September 2018: “Hey jj its hadi When will you remove the washing machine and rubbish?”
There is some disagreement about where the rubbish bags were, but I do not consider them to be of much significance.
Mr Holland signed a one-year fixed-term lease; if he believes the tenancy ended early, it is for him to prove this on the balance of probabilities. On the information before me today, 22 September 2018 is the earliest date I can be sure Mr Holland had vacated the property.
The property manager had stated earlier that he needed three weeks to market the property without the tenant’s belongings being in the way: Three weeks takes the tenancy through to 13 October 2018.
The property manager provided rent records and water rates invoices which prove the amount owing at the end of the tenancy was $2,057.14 for rent and $160.34 for water rates.
Because Property Management Services has wholly succeeded with the claim I must reimburse the filing fee.
