Order

Reasons

The tenant Timothy Roetz attended the hearing. The landlord attended the hearing. The Tribunal was unable to connect with the tenant Mariska Roetz. In light of the background to this matter and the outcome, I do not think that the tenant Mariska Roetz is prejudiced by her not being involved in the hearing.
This matter was part heard on 16 January 2024.
The tenant Timothy Roetz seeks release of the bond.
The background is as follows.
Timothy Roetz and Mariska Roetz entered into a fixed term tenancy agreement to rent the premises on or about 12 December 2021.The fixed term tenancy became a periodic tenancy on 9 December 2022.
The tenant Timothy Roetz moved out of the premises sometime between September and November 2022.
The tenant Timothy Roetz has asked the landlord to release the bond to him.
The landlord has refused to do so .
The tenancy remains in place between the two tenants, Timothy Roetz and Mariska Roetz and the landlord, on a periodic basis.
No notice terminating the tenancy has been given by the tenants to the landlord. That the tenant Timothy Roetz no longer resides at the premises is not relevant to the issue before the Tribunal. It is possible for one tenant in a joint tenancy to give notice to the landlord to terminate the tenancy. That has not occurred.
The landlord is entitled to have a bond held throughout a valid tenancy. While the tenancy continues, the bond must be held at the Bond Centre.
The tenant’s application is dismissed.
The landlord has applied for name suppression. The landlord has been wholly successful in this matter and suppression of the landlord name and details is ordered.
