Tenantcheck Insights

Order

The application number 4955273 for termination and rent arrears is dismissed.

The application number 5057528 seeking compensation for damage is to be set down for a further 60-minutes video hearing before any adjudicator.

Within 5 days of this order, the landlord is to re-file the “before” and “after” photos of the property noting the following: a. The date each set of photographs were taken; b. The location of each photograph (e.g. which room); c. Numbering each photograph individually.

Reasons

The landlord’s agent attended the video hearing. The tenant did not attend. An attempt to call the tenant on their last known mobile number went to voicemail.

The landlord stated the tenancy came to an end on 11 September 2024 and the tenant has paid rent arrears to that date.

Given that, the landlord no longer sought orders for termination and rent arrears. Accordingly, I dismiss the application for termination and rent arrears (4955273).

The landlord filed an additional claim on 1 November 2024 (5057528) seeking compensation for damage and cleaning. The landlord filed photographs of the alleged damage, however the photographs are not dated or numbered, and do not identify which room of the house they are taken in.

On 5 November 2024, the landlord filed additional photos, labelled “Entry Inspection.” Again, the photos are not dated or numbered, and do not identify which room of the house they are taken in.

Given the photos labelled “Entry Inspection” were only filed today, I am not satisfied the tenant has had the opportunity to review the photographs. I also note the tenant has only had 3 working days to review the landlord’s application for damage and cleaning. I consider it appropriate that the tenant be permitted a reasonable period to review the application for damage and cleaning, and the evidence filed in support of that application.

Should the tenant choose not to attend the next hearing as well, it is likely the application will be determined in their absence.

If the tenant has a counter-claim they want dealt with at the next hearing, they must file their application with Tenancy Services within 10 days of this order and refer to application number 5057528.

If either party wishes to file further evidence they must do so at least 10 days before the next hearing date.

The parties will be notified in writing by Tenancy Services of the date and time of the next hearing.
