Order

The application is dismissed.

Reasons

The hearing was held by teleconference. The applicant (the landlord) did not attend the hearing at the scheduled time. The landlord was contacted several times on the contact numbers provided in the application but on all occasions the call went unanswered and dropped to voicemail. Nor did the landlord request an adjournment, or notify the Tribunal that the matter has settled. See sections 78(1)(i) and 92(1) Residential Tenancies Act 1986.
The other party (the tenant) attended the hearing. The tenant accepted that there were rent arrears owing but advised that she had agreed with the landlord a payment plan to address the issue.
In the circumstances, as the landlord has not attended the hearing to prove the claim, the application is therefore dismissed.
Taking into consideration the claim made against the tenant, which has not been established, I have ordered name suppression of the tenant.
