Filing Fee Rent arrears

Order

[The tenant/s] must pay Barfoot & Thompson Limited As Agent For Hobman Holdings Ltd $672.00 immediately, being rent arrears to 30 August 2024.
All other applications are dismissed.

Reasons

Both parties attended this remote hearing.
The landlord has applied for termination of the tenancy, rent arrears and refund of the bond.

Should the tenancy be terminated?

The Tribunal shall terminate a tenancy where: a. on 3 separate occasions within a 90-day period the rent has been at least 5 working days in arrear; and b. on each occasion the landlord gave the tenant written notice advising the tenant of the arrear, the dates for which rent was overdue, the amount or amounts of overdue rent, and the tenant’s right to make an application to the Tribunal challenging the notice; and c. each notice stated how many other notices (if any) the landlord had given the tenant under this paragraph in relation to the same tenancy and 90-day period; and d. the landlord’s application to the Tribunal was made within 28 days after the landlord gave the third notice. See section 55(1)(aa) Residential Tenancies Act 1986.
In this case, I find the landlord has not served notices on the tenant as required in the Residential Tenancies Act 1986. The first notice dated 22 July 2024 was defective, as it indicates that it is the third notice. The consequences of a tenant failing to comply with the recidivist rent notice process are significant. The notices must comply with the requirements of the section. The application for termination is dismissed.
The landlord has applied for rent arrears and has provided rent records which prove the amount owing as of the date of this hearing is $645.00.
As Barfoot & Thompson Limited As Agent For Hobman Holdings Ltd has substantially succeeded with the claim, I have ordered the tenant to reimburse the filing fee.
The tenant applied for name suppression. The tenant has also substantially succeeded in this hearing and suppression of the tenant’s name and details is ordered.
