Order
- An application for suppression has been made in this case, and the Tribunal orders suppression of the Tenant’s name and identifying details.
- Rentcare Property Management Limited must pay [The tenant/s] $27.00 immediately, calculated as shown in the table below.
Reasons
- Both parties attended the hearing.
- The tenant has applied for refund of the bond. The landlord has a claim against the bond, but has not filed a counterclaim with Tribunal.
- Section 22B(2) Residential Tenancies Act 1986 provides that, where a tenant applies for refund of the bond, and the landlord seeks payment from the bond, the landlord must file an application setting out the details of the counterclaim. Because the landlord has not filed a counterclaim the bond is refunded in full to the tenant.
- Because [The applicant/s] has wholly succeeded with the claim I must reimburse the filing fee.
