The landlord is claiming rent arrears and reimbursement of the filing fee.
The landlord’s application had initially been made to the Disputes Tribunal, which was the incorrect jurisdiction for dealing with claims made by parties to a residential tenancy agreement. On 14 August 2024, the landlord filed a claim with the Tenancy Tribunal, and the application was scheduled for hearing on 03 October 2024.
The tenancy in this case ended on 29 March 2024. As the application was filed more than two months after the end of the tenancy, the usual service rules no longer apply.

See section 91A (2) Residential Tenancies Act 1986 (The “Act”).
The application had not been served in accordance with these requirements.
The hearing was unable to proceed until effective service had taken place.
The hearing was adjourned to allow for service.

Alternatively, the landlord may apply to the Tribunal for a direction that service be dispensed with. See section 91B of the Act.
On 19 November 2024, the application was re-scheduled for today, 10 December 2024.
I am satisfied that the landlord has made all reasonable attempts to locate the tenant. Therefore, I direct that service in this case be dispensed with.
The landlord has produced a rent summary showing the amount of rent owing. it appears that the tenant promised to pay the arrears but failed to do so. Costs
Because [The applicant/s] has wholly succeeded with the claim I must reimburse the filing fee. Name suppression.
