Order
- The Bond Centre is to pay the bond of $1,360.00 (5249139-014) to [The tenant/s] immediately.
- [The landlord/s] and [The landlord/s] are to pay [The tenant/s] the filing fee of $20.44 immediately.
Reasons
- Both parties attended the hearing, Mrs Till by videoconference and Mr Low by teleconference.
- The tenant has applied for refund of the bond. The landlord 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.
- Further to this, because the tenant has wholly succeeded with the claim I must order the landlords to reimburse him the filing fee. C ter Haar 28 February 2024
