Reasons

The landlord, [The landlord/s] attended the hearing remotely.
The tenant, Ms. Church, was not present remotely. I tried to reach her by calling the phone number listed on the landlord's application for termination at 2:04 pm, but the call went straight to voicemail. I left a voice message for Ms. Church, informing her that I would call her again at around 2:10 pm.
At 2:10 pm, I called Ms. Church again, but the call went straight to voicemail once more. I left another voice message, letting her know that the hearing would proceed in her absence.
The landlord has applied for termination of the tenancy for breach of the tenant’s obligations, rent arrears and refund of the bond.

Should the tenancy be terminated?

Where a landlord applies to terminate for breach, and rent is at least 21 days in arrears on the hearing date, the Tribunal must terminate the tenancy. See sections 55 and 56(2) Residential Tenancies Act 1986.
Rent is at least 21 days in arrears at the hearing date. The tenancy is terminated.

How much does the tenant owe?

The landlord provided rent records which prove the amount owing at the end of the tenancy is $2,142.09. Bond
The landlord's application stated that the tenant had paid a bond of $2,400.
However, when I asked the landlord where the bond was, he claimed to be unsure and couldn't remember if it was with the Bond Centre.
This was a concern for me because the application did not include a Bond Number. As a result, I was not comfortable ordering a bond refund to the landlord until the location of the bond was confirmed. Filing fee
Because [The landlord/s] has wholly succeeded with the claim I must reimburse the filing fee. Suppression
The landlord applied for name suppression in his application to terminate the tenancy.
Because the application was wholly successful, I granted the suppression of the landlord's name and identifying details.
