Order

An application for suppression has been made in this case, and the Tribunal orders suppression of the names of the landlords and their identifying details.
The application of [The landlord/s] to dispense with service of the application on [The tenant/s] is granted.
The Bond Centre must pay the sum of $1400 from the bond ([Bond number redacted]) to [The landlord/s].
The balance of the bond is to remain at the Bond Centre.

Reasons

Only the landlord attended the hearing. He was assisted by an interpreter.
I set out the circumstances of this matter in the last order, the details of which are not material.
In short, one of the tenants is deceased and the landlord told me today he only wishes to proceed against the other tenant, [The tenant/s]. The landlords have no information to provide about the administrator or executor of the estate of the deceased tenant and I can thereof remake no order against his estate.
At the last hearing, I requested the landlord to make efforts to ascertain the whereabout of [The tenant/s] and attempt to serve him. The landlord has sent emails to [The tenant/s] and attempted to call him, to no avail.
I also asked the landlord to submit a proper rent summary, which he has now done.
I find that the rent of $1400 was owing at the end of the tenancy, being 20 October 2020. The landlord has proven the amount owing.
I am satisfied that the landlord should be granted name suppression.
