Order

An application for suppression has been made in this case, and the Tribunal orders suppression of the Landlord name and identifying details.
Bridget Herewini must pay [The landlord/s] $4,934.62 immediately, calculated as shown in table below:
The Bond Centre is to pay the bond of $2,760.00 ([Bond number suppressed]) to [The landlord/s] immediately.
The prior order dated [redacted] is replaced by this order and it is not enforceable.

Reasons

Both parties attended the hearing, conducted via teleconference.
A prior order dated [redcated] made monetary orders for rent arrears and water rates. No payments towards these orders have been made by the tenant. That order also varied the landlord application to include termination and possession at this hearing. This final order replaces that, and any prior order.
The tenancy has now ended. On 28 March 2025, Ms Herewini gave two weeks’ notice. This is less than the minimal three weeks tenancy notice required at that time. The landlord provided a rent summary and sought rent arrears based on the previous 28 day minimum (the reduction in tenant notice period to 21 days took effect 30 January 2025, see s 55(2A) Residential Tenancies Act 1986).
Based on the rent summary, the rent owing to 18 April 2025 is $3,034.29. This includes rent in-lieu of notice.
The water rates owing has been the subject of a previous determination and order. The final water rates claimed as owing to the end of the tenancy is $4,633.44. This amount is as expected as a revision upwards from the November 2024 total as confirmed at that time. The amount was established and confirmed by a final water utility invoice.
The application also sought work orders for tenant damage. These claims were removed previously by the landlord. As the landlord now has vacant possession, any related claims are to form a second landlord application for vacated compensation, and any other orders as considered appropriate. Filing Fee
Because [The applicant/s] has wholly succeeded with the claim I must reimburse the filing fee. Suppression
Section 95A RTA states regarding suppression orders that the Tribunal must, on the application of a party that has wholly or substantially succeeded in proceedings, order that the party’s name or identifying particulars not be published, unless the Tribunal considers that publication is in the public interest or is justified because of the party’s conduct or any other circumstances of the case.
Further, the Tribunal may, on the application of any party to proceedings or on its own initiative, having regard to the interests of the parties and to the public interest, order that all or part of the evidence given or the name or any identifying particulars of any witness or party not be published.
The landlord requested suppression in its application. As it has been wholly successful, suppression is ordered.
