Che Gallagher must pay [The landlord/s] $13,260.43 immediately for rent arrears, reimbursement of filing fee and power bills ,as calculated and shown in the table below: DescriptionLandlord Rent arrears to 8 November 2024$14,316.72 Filing fee reimbursement$27.00 Power bills$566.71 Total award$14,910.43 Minus Bond-$1,650.00 Total payable by Tenant to Landlord$13,260.43

Reasons

The landlord attended the hearing, the tenant did not attend.

The landlord has applied for termination of the tenancy, rent arrears, filing fee and power bills and refund of the bond. Termination:

Rent was at least 21 days in arrears on the date the application was filed. The tenancy is terminated. See section 55(1)(a) Residential Tenancies Act 1986.

The tenancy is terminated at 11.59pm on Wednesday 6 th November 2024 and possession is granted to the landlord after that date and time.

If the tenant has not left the property by that date and time, additional costs may be incurred for the tenant if the landlord needs to seek enforcement through the District Court for eviction.

Similarly, if the tenant has not complied with her obligations at the end of the tenancy to leave the property reasonably clean and tidy and remove all rubbish, and return keys, additional costs may be incurred for the tenant, if these obligations have not been met. Rent and power invoices:

The landlord provided rent records and power bills that cover the term of the tenancy. The rent and power schedule shows that the total rent, bond, and power due over the term of the tenancy is $17,066.72. The landlord was claiming this full amount. However, after viewing the records I can see that the two rent payments made on 10 May 2024 totalling $1100.00 have not been deducted for the total amount claimed. Furthermore, the landlord has not taken off the bond paid by the tenant on 10 th May 2024 for $1650.00.

From the records provided by the landlord to the Tribunal, the total rent owed is $14316.72 which cover the period of 18 May 2024 to 8 November 2024. The power invoices have been paid by the landlord as the power supply company advised that they were cutting off the power to the property unless the outstanding invoices were paid. The landlord paid two invoices amounting to $566.72.

I am satisfied that as at the end of the tenancy the tenant owes the landlord $14316.72 in rent arrears and $566.72 in power bills.

The tenant paid the bond of $1650.00 to the landlord on 10 May 2024. The bond has been refunded to the landlord recently to offset the debt owed to the landlord. The $1650.00 is deducted off the rent arrears and power bills.

The landlord has applied for suppression of his name and identifying details. As he has been successful with his application, I am granting suppression.

Because [The applicant/s] has wholly succeeded with the claim I must reimburse the filing fee.
