Filing Fee

Order

Janelle Matekuare must pay [The landlord/s] $12,029.46 immediately, calculated as shown in the table below.
This order incorporates the Tribunal order made on 7 June 2024 under application 4799359.
The Bond Centre is to pay the bond of $2,480.00 ([Bond number suppressed]) to [The landlord/s] immediately.

Reasons

The landlord attended the hearing which was held by teleconference on 6 November 2024. The tenant did not attend the hearing.
Prior to the hearing, the tenant requested an adjournment, citing her son’s hospitalisation as the reason. However, this request was declined due to the nature of the application and the landlord’s objection.
The landlord has applied for refund of the bond, and reimbursement of the filing fee following the end of the tenancy.

Is the landlord entitled to refund of the bond?

The tenancy ended on 28 February 2024.
On 7 June 2024, the Tribunal made an order relating to this tenancy, for rent arrears to 28 February 2024 ($9,200.00), water rates ($984.79), cleaning ($1,121.25), rubbish removal ($2,585.00), electrical fittings replacement/repair ($570.98) and reimbursement of the filing fee ($20.44) (application 4799359). The previous order is incorporated into this order for enforcement purposes.
Subsequently, the landlord filed a second application seeking a refund of the bond.
Given the previous order from the Tribunal, my decision is to award the full bond to the landlord applying it against the outstanding debt. The Tribunal’s prior ruling awarded the landlord a substantial sum of $14,482.46, reflecting the Tribunal’s judgment that the landlord was entitled to compensation for issues raised in the original application. Since the bond is intended to provide security for the landlord against potential losses or damages arising from the tenancy, it is reasonable to apply it towards reducing this outstanding debt.
The tenant has expressed a desire to raise some additional queries. However, my decision in this matter is limited to the refund of the bond. If the tenant wishes to address issues in relation to the landlord’s previous claims, the appropriate course of action would be to apply for a rehearing (albeit out of time) of the Tribunal’s previous order (application 4799359). Since a decision has already been made, I am unable to review it due to the legal principle of “res judicata,” which prevents the same matter from being reheard. Only the original Adjudicator has the authority to revisit it. Filing fee and suppression order
As the landlord has wholly succeeded with the claim, I must order reimbursement of the filing fee and grant suppression of the landlord’s name and details.
