Claim	Landlord	Reason
Rent arrears to 10.3.2024	$3,100.00	Rent arrears to 10.3.2024
Net award	$3,100.00
Bond	$3,100.00
Total payable by Tenant to Landlord	$3,100.00

The tenancy of [The tenant/s] at [Tenancy address suppressed] is terminated, and possession is granted to [The landlord/s], at 11:59pm on 10 March 2024.

[The tenant/s] is to pay [The landlord/s] $3,100.00 for rent arrears to 10 March 2024, from the bond, by consent of both parties, as per the table below.

The Bond Centre is to pay the bond of $3,100.00 ([Bond number suppressed]) to [The landlord/s], immediately.

Reasons

[The landlord’s representative/s] attended the teleconference hearing on behalf of the landlord. [The tenant’s representative/s], mother of the tenant and executor of the Estate of [The tenant/s] also attended the teleconference hearing.

The landlord has applied for termination and possession, rent arrears and refund of the bond. At the hearing, the landlord withdrew their application for refund of the filing fee.

[The tenant/s] passed away sometime between 13 February 2024 and 18 February 2024, according to her death certificate. The landlord was notified by a neighbour that [The tenant/s] was discovered deceased at her house on 18 February 2024.

The landlord has asked that the tenancy be considered terminated 21 days from 18 February 2024, which goes to 10 March 2024, pursuant to section 50A Residential Tenancies Act 1986 (“RTA”), and that rent is payable to that date.

The landlord provided rent records which prove the amount owing to 10 March 2024, which is $3,985.71. However, the landlord has offered that if the bond held of $3,100.00 can be applied to rent arrears owing, they are willing to forego any rent owing in excess of $3,100.00 in the circumstances.

[The tenant’s representative/s], on behalf of [The tenant/s]’s estate, agreed to the release of the bond of $3,100.00 to the landlord on this basis that $3,100.00 is considered owing to the landlord in rent by the tenant’s estate to 10 March 2024.

Therefore, the Bond Centre is to pay the bond of $3,100.00 ([Bond number suppressed]) to [The landlord/s], immediately. Suppression

Both parties requested name suppression. The landlord is entitled to suppression as they have been successful with the claim. Therefore, I order that the landlord’s name and identifying details not be published.

Section 95A(4) RTA provides that the Tribunal may, on the application of any party to proceedings or on its own initiative, having regard to the interests of the parties and to the public interest, order that all or part of the evidence given or the name or any identifying particulars of any witness or party not be published.

In the circumstances and given the evidence, I find there is no public interest in publishing the name of the tenant or that of the executor of her estate, and the interests of the tenant and any representative of her estate outweigh any public interest in this regard. Therefore, I order that the tenant’s name and identifying details, and the name and identifying details of any executor or representative of the tenant’s estate, not be published.
