Order

The tenancy of Bjorn Modersohn at [Tenancy address suppressed] is terminated, and possession is granted to [The landlord/s], at 11.59 am on Monday 5 February 2024.
The Bond Centre is to pay the bond of $1,530.00 ([Bond number suppressed]) to [The landlord/s] immediately.
Bjorn Modersohn must pay [The landlord/s] $10,904.54 immediately, calculated as shown in the table below:

Reasons

Both parties attended this video hearing.
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 will be $11,839.99. The landlord provided water rates records showing that the water rates arrears to 13 November 2023 were $574.11.
The landlord has been wholly successful in this matter and I must order the tenant to reimburse the filing fee.
Both parties applied for name suppression.
The landlord has been wholly successful in this matter and suppression of the landlord name and details is ordered.
I have considered if I should grant a name suppression order for the tenant having regard to the interests of the parties and public interest under Section 95A(4) RTA.
I am mindful that open justice is a fundamental principle in our legal system. The issue here I need to consider is whether suppressing the tenant’s name and identifying details outweigh the interest of the open justice reporting principle.
In my view, the application for name suppression and identifying details ought to be declined for the following reasons: a. It is common for parties appearing before the Tribunal to seek suppression orders. But that is not of itself a sufficient reason to make the order. b. The disputes before me are not unusual or other than the ordinary business of the Tribunal. c. The open justice principle requires the outcome of adjudication to be available to the public; and d. Weighing up the interests of the landlord and the public interest, the public interest outweighs the tenant’s interests.
Accordingly, no order is made for suppression of the tenant’s name and identifying details.
