Filing Fee Rent arrears

Order

An application for suppression has been made in this case, and the Tribunal orders suppression of [Tenant 1]’s name and identifying details. 2. 3.

Reasons

The landlord’s application seeks rent arrears and break lease costs.
The hearing took place in [Event location suppressed] on 26 July 2024. Ms Inglis represented the landlord. [Tenant 1] attended the hearing by phone with the permission of the Tribunal. There was no appearance by Mr Mcleod-Taylor.
This was a fixed term tenancy commencing on 10 May 2023 and due to end on 10 May 2024.
The tenants’ relationship ended in late January / early February 2024. Mr Mcleod-Taylor left the property and stopped paying rent. [Tenant 1] could not afford the rent on her own. She asked to be released from the fixed term tenancy.
The landlord agreed to that request on the condition that the tenants remain liable for rent until a new tenant could be found, and that the tenants pay the reasonable costs of re-letting the premises.
The premises were re-let on or around 6 March. The landlord seeks rent to 1 March. The claim is proven.
Landlords are entitled to recover the reasonable costs of accepting the surrender of a tenancy 1 . The landlord’s claim for $587.39 is comprised of advertising costs, final and entry inspections, and carrying out checks on prospective new tenants. The claim is proven, and is fair and reasonable. The landlord met the legal requirement of generating an invoice for the costs and sending the invoice to the tenants.
The landlord has been successful in this application and I must also award the landlord the filing fee of $20.44.
The proven claim exceeds the bond. The bond will be released to the landlord.
The Tribunal has the power to grant name suppression to any party “having regard to the interests of the party and to the public interest” 2 .
My finding is that it is appropriate to grant name suppression to [Tenant 1] in this instance. [Tenant 1] was not at fault for the rent arrears. She has remained in contact with Ms Inglis throughout the process and has been very co- operative. Any disadvantage that could fall to [Tenant 1] as a consequence of publication of her name would be unfair in the circumstances.
