An application for suppression has been made in this case, and the Tribunal orders suppression of the landlord’s name and identifying details.

The tenancy of Joy Bevan at [Tenancy address suppressed] is terminated, and possession is granted to [The landlord/s], at 11.59pm on 15 November 2024.

Joy Bevan must pay [The landlord/s] $9,548.29 immediately, calculated as shown in the table below:

Reasons

Only the landlord, represented by [The landlord’s representative], attended the hearing, which was conducted via teleconference. Three attempts were made to contact the tenant, and on each occasion, the call was not answered. As the tenant has been notified, the hearing proceeded in her absence.

After the hearing, the landlord agreed to provide an updated rent summary and copies of the relevant Watercare invoices. Background

This tenancy began on 6 May 2024. The rent is $840.00 per week. The tenant previously signed a tenancy agreement for this premises as joint tenant, for a tenancy that began on 23 September 2021. This tenancy ended following a Tribunal order on 30 April 2024. The Tribunal ordered that the bond be paid to the landlord, which at the time was [The former landlord]. There were also outstanding rent arrears.

The current landlord, [The landlord/s] took over the property management from 16 September 2024. The evidence from the rent summary produced for the hearing is that there remains an outstanding balance of $1,065.54, which is payable under the previous Tribunal order. This is awarded above for enforcement purposes.

In this application, the landlord has applied for termination of the tenancy, rent arrears and water charges.

Should the tenancy be terminated?

I am satisfied that the landlord has established the grounds for termination of the tenancy. Rent was at least 21 days in arrears on the date the application was filed. At the date of the hearing, rent was well over 21 days in arrears. The landlord provided rent records and oral evidence in support.

Accordingly, the tenancy is terminated under section 55(1)(a) of the Residential Tenancies Act 1986. Rent arrears and water charges

The landlord’s rent records prove the amount owing at the end of the tenancy.

The landlord sought water charges of $549.10 and $55.75. The landlord has only provided the Watercare invoice relating to the water charges of $55.75, so this is awarded above.

In the absence of the relevant invoices from Watercare, the other water charges of $549.10 are not awarded, as they have not been proven. Providing the tenant ledger completed by [The former landlord] is not enough to establish these water charges. I note the explanation given, however, the landlord could have obtained the Watercare invoices either from [The former landlord] or the owner of the premises. Name suppression

An application for suppression has been made in this case by the landlord. In view of the landlord being successful in the proceedings, the Tribunal orders suppression of the landlord’s name and identifying details. Filing fee

Because the landlord has substantially succeeded with the claim, the tenant is to pay the landlord’s filing fee.
