Decided 26 Aug 2024 · Published 26 Aug 2024 · Application 4957953
- Rent arrears
- Cleanliness
Order
- [The tenant/s] and [The tenant/s] must pay Just Prestige Properties Limited As Agent For Susanna Wang $1,522.00 immediately, being rent arrears to 30 August 2024 after the bond has been applied (rent arrears of $7295.00 less $5800.00 bond), and the application filing fee of $27.00.
- The Bond Centre is to pay the bond of $5,800.00 (5483926-005) to Just Prestige Properties Limited As Agent For Susanna Wang immediately.
Reasons
- Both parties attended the hearing, conducted via teleconference.
- The landlord has applied for rent arrears and has provided rent records which prove the amount owing.
- This is a fixed-term tenancy that is to end 20 September 2024 if not earlier.
- Unfortunately, some of the family assisting with the rent have moved out.
- The tenants have handed back the premises to the landlord, but it remains vacant for now. The landlord confirmed it is being advertised at this time but there has been minimal interest to date. As this is a fixed-term tenancy, rent liability continues until the end of the fixed-term or a new tenancy commences, whichever is soonest.
- The landlord indicated further claims for cleaning and water rates will follow. Any subsequent rent liability will be included in that application.
- The bond is released now as requested by the landlord.
- Because Just Prestige Properties Limited As Agent For Susanna Wang has wholly succeeded with the claim I must reimburse the filing fee.
