Tenantcheck Insights

Reasons

The tenants attended the hearing by video call.

The landlord was telephoned on the phone number provided but the phone call went unanswered.

I am satisfied the landlord was properly served with notice of the hearing.

The hearing proceeded in her absence. Bond

The tenants applied for a refund of the bond and claim the landlord did not lodge the bond with the Bond Centre within the required time.

The landlord has now refunded the tenant the bond and accordingly I dismiss the application for refund of the bond.

A landlord must send any bond payment to the Bond Centre within 23 working days after the payment is received. See section 19(1) Residential Tenancies Act 1986.

Breaching this obligation is an unlawful act. See section 19(2) and Schedule 1A Residential Tenancies Act 1986.

There is no record that the bond in relation to this tenancy was lodged.

I find the landlord has committed an unlawful act.

The tenant did not seek any further order in relation to this claim therefore I do not make any orders in relation to this breach of the RTA. Filing fee

I consider the tenant has been substantially successful in their claim and I make an order that the landlord pay the filing. Suppression

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party that has wholly or substantially succeeded in proceedings, order that the party’s name or identifying particulars not be published, unless the Tribunal considers that publication is in the public interest or is justified because of the party’s conduct or any other circumstances of the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. See section 95A of the Residential Tenancies Act 1986

The tenant sought suppression and as the application is substantially successful, I have made an order accordingly.
