Filing Fee Rent arrears

Order

Pania Danielle Sisson must pay [The landlord/s] $5,389.00 immediately, being rent arrears to 2 September 2024 and reimbursement of the filing fee, as calculated and set out below: DescriptionLandlord Rent arrears$6,962.00 Filing fee reimbursement$27.00 Total award$6,989.00 Minus Bond-$1,600.00 Total payable by Tenant to Landlord$5,389.00
The Bond Centre is to pay the bond of $1,600.00 ([Bond number suppressed]) to [The landlord/s] immediately.

Reasons

The landlord attended the hearing, the tenant did not attend.
The landlord has applied for termination of the tenancy for abandonment, rent arrears and refund of the bond.

Should the tenancy be terminated?

The Tribunal may terminate the tenancy where the premises have been abandoned and rent is in arrear at the hearing date. See section 61 Residential Tenancies Act 1986. A tenancy is abandoned where the tenant leaves the premises without reasonable excuse, not intending to return or to meet their obligations, and fails to notify the landlord.
On 2 September 2024 the landlord became aware (or ought to have been aware) that the tenant had abandoned the premises. The landlord sent notices to carry out a routine inspection on the property. On 3 September 2024 the landlord went to the property as arranged and found that the property had been vacated and the tenant gone.
Because the premises have been abandoned, and rent is in arrear, the tenancy is terminated immediately, and possession is granted to the landlord.

How much does the tenant owe?

The landlord provided rent records which prove the amount of $6962.00 owing at the end of the tenancy on 2 September 2024. The amount ordered includes rent in lieu of notice.
The landlord has applied for rent arrears and has provided rent records which prove the amount owing. I am satisfied that the landlord has proven his claim for rent arrears.
The bond centre is to refund the bond immediately to the landlord to offset the debt owed by the tenant to the landlord.
The landlord has applied for suppression of his name and identifying details. As he has been successful with his claim, I am granting suppression.
Because [The applicant/s] has wholly succeeded with the claim I must reimburse the filing fee.
