Order

[The landlord/s] is granted possession of the premises at [Tenancy address suppressed] immediately.
The Bond Centre is to pay the bond of $312.00 ([Bond number suppressed]) to [The landlord/s] immediately.
[The tenant/s] must pay [The landlord/s] $1,121.51 immediately, calculated as shown in the table below:

Reasons

Both parties attended the hearing.
[The landlord/s] for the landlord. [The tenant/s], the tenant with support from [support person] and some other support workers.
The landlord has applied for possession of the premises following the termination of the tenancy.
On 6 November 2023, [the tenant/s] gave notice to end her tenancy in writing. She says this was done freely. On the last day of her tenancy, [the tenant/s] changed her mind and now does not want to leave the premises.
In reliance of [the tenant/s] notice, [the landlord/s] went through a process of allocating the premises to another person for social housing purposes.
[The landlord/s] confirm they will support [the tenant/s] to find a more suitable property and assure the Tribunal reasonable time will be given for this to occur to avoid [the tenant/s] having to go into transient housing in the interim. It is reasonable to allow assistance of more than a few days to move to another more suitable premises given the short week.
The landlord also seeks compensation for repairs to the premises (broken window, door frame and replacement smoke alarms) which are not contested by [the tenant/s]. On that basis, compensation for the repairs are ordered being $517.50 for the window and $895.57 for the door frame and smoke alarms.
The tenancy ended on 4 December 2023, which is less than 90 days ago. The requirements of section 64(1) of the Residential Tenancies Act 1986 are satisfied.
Because [The applicant/s] have wholly succeeded with the claim I must reimburse the filing fee.
The landlord is also seeking suppression of identifying details in any publication of this order.
If a party has wholly or substantially succeeded in the proceedings the Tribunal must make the order unless the Tribunal considers that publication is in the public interest or is justified because of the party’s conduct or any other circumstances of the case. Section 95A Residential Tenancies Act 1986.
There are sensitive matters for the tenant in this situation. [The landlord/s] agree the tenant also needs name suppression. Having considered the factors in this case the Tribunal grants suppression as sought.
