Order

An application for suppression has been made in this case, and the Tribunal orders suppression of the tenant’s name and identifying details.
The Bond Centre is to pay the bond of $1,200.00 ([Bond number suppressed]) immediately apportioned as follows: Bentham Farms Limited: $164.78 [The tenant/s]: $1,035.22

Reasons

Both parties attended the hearing by telephone.
The tenant has applied for refund of the bond. The landlord advised that it has a claim against the bond but has not filed a counterclaim with Tenancy Services.
Section 22B(2) Residential Tenancies Act 1986 provides that, where a tenant applies for refund of the bond, and the landlord seeks payment from the bond, the landlord must file an application setting out the details of the counterclaim. Because the landlord has not filed a counterclaim the bond is refunded in full to the tenant.
The tenant agreed during the hearing that the landlord be paid $164.78 from the bond for power. The bond is therefore to be split between the parties.
Because [The tenant/s] has wholly succeeded with the claim I must reimburse the filing fee.
