Filing Fee Rent arrears Water Rates

Order

Amritpal Singh and Shabana Amrit must pay [The landlord/s] $985.65 immediately for rent arrears, filing fee, water bills and break lease fee, as calculated and shown in table below. DescriptionLandlord Rent arrears$2,340.00 Filing fee reimbursement$20.44 Water rates$160.21 Break fee$805.00 Total award$3,325.65 Minus Bond-$2,340.00 Total payable by Tenant to Landlord$985.65
The Bond Centre is to pay the bond of $2,340.00 ([Bond number suppressed]) to [The landlord/s] 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.
This was a 12-month fixed term tenancy which commenced on 11 March 2023. Both tenants were working at the start of the tenancy. In October 2023, the tenants advised the landlord that they have both lost their employment and could no longer stay at the property.
The landlord released the tenants from the reminder of the tenancy on the proviso that they refund the bond to the landlord to cover the rent arrears. The tenants were advised that they would have to pay a break lease fee to cover the cost of advertising and processing new tenants at the property and water bills.
The rent arrears cover the period from the last rent payment until the final day of the tenancy on 3 November 2023.

How much is owed for rent and water rates?

The tenancy ended on 3 November 2023. The landlord provided records which show $2340.00 in rent arrears and $160.21 in water rates invoices which prove the amount owing at the end of the tenancy.
I am satisfied that the landlord has proven their claim for rent arrears and water bills. Break lease fee:
As the tenants have broken the fixed term tenancy, they must be liable for the reasonable costs for advertising and administration to obtain new tenants.
The landlord has provided an invoice for $805.00 to cover these costs.
I am satisfied that the landlord has proven their claim for the break lease fee. Bond/ suppression/filing fee:
The bond is to be refunded by the Bond Centre to the landlord, to offset the debt owed by the tenants to the landlord.
Because [The applicant/s] has wholly succeeded with the claim I must reimburse the filing fee.
The landlord has applied for suppression of their name and identifying details. As they have been successful, I am granting suppression of their name and details.
