Order

An application for suppression has been made in this case, and the Tribunal orders suppression of the Landlord name and identifying details.
Christine Morris and Peter McVicar must pay [The landlord/s] $1,560.00 from the bond, being rent arrears to 18 August 2024.
The Bond Centre is to pay the bond of $1,560.00 ([Bond number suppressed]) to [The landlord/s] immediately.

Reasons

The landlord’s representatives attended the video hearing. Peter McVicar attended part of the hearing by telephone but chose to disconnect the call part- way through.
The landlord has applied for payment of rent arrears and has provided rent records, and a copy of emails between the parties in which the tenants’ give notice to terminate the tenancy.
The landlord agreed to accept a lesser period of notice from the tenants instead of the 28 days’ notice that is legally required.
The agreement about the notice period was reached on 5 August 2024 and the landlord has charged rent until 18 August 2024. The landlord says the tenants returned the keys on 19 August 2024.
I award rent to 18 August 2024.
The ledger proves the amount owing is $1,564.29.
The landlord is also entitled to be awarded the filing fee of $27.00.
The landlord has chosen to accept $1,560.00, being the amount of the bond, in settlement of all claims.
The bond is refunded to the landlord.
The landlord has been successful in the application, so I suppress its name from the published order, as sought.
