Order

Allan Quigley’s application is dismissed.
The tenancy of Allan Quigley at [Tenancy address suppressed] is terminated, and possession is granted to [The landlord/s], at 11.59 pm on Thursday 29 February 2024.
Allan Quigley must pay [The landlord/s] $10,591.87 immediately, calculated as shown in the table below:
The Bond Centre is to pay the bond of $2,000.00 ([Bond number suppressed]) to [The landlord/s] immediately.

Reasons

The landlord attended the hearing today which was held by teleconference. The tenant and the landlord’s agent did not attend the hearing. Both were contacted several times on the contact numbers provided in the applications but without success. The absence of a party does not prevent the hearing from proceeding. I am satisfied there has been adequate service of the hearing notice and proceeded with the hearing in the absence of the tenant and the landlord’s agent.
There are two applications before the Tribunal. The tenant has filed an application (application 4728355) seeking an order from the Tribunal directing the landlord to provide a copy of the tenancy agreement and a work order for the lawns to be moved and for a washing line to be installed. The landlord has filed a cross application (application 4775297) seeking termination of the tenancy, rent arrears and refund of the bond.
The tenant has an obligation as an applicant to prove his claim. As he did not attend the hearing today, he has not proven his claim and therefore it is dismissed.
I turn to the landlord’s application.
Rent was at least 21 days in arrears on the date the application was filed. The tenancy is terminated. See section 55(1)(a) Residential Tenancies Act 1986.
The landlord provided rent records which prove the amount owing to 17 January 2024, being $9,500.00. I accept the landlord’s evidence that the tenant has not paid any rent since. This evidence is undisputed. Therefore, additional rent arrears are owed of $3,071.43 (18 January 2024 – 29 February 2024) with total rent arrears owing of $12,571.43.
As the landlord has wholly succeeded with the claim, I must order the other party to reimburse the filing fee.
