Filing Fee

Order

An application for suppression has been made in this case, and the Tribunal orders suppression of the Landlord name and identifying details.
Osheanna Hinerakei Arteast Leef Koia must pay [The landlord/s] $562.93 immediately, calculated as shown in table below.

Reasons

Only the landlord’s representative attended the hearing (held by telephone). I continued without the tenant present as her phone went to voicemail when I called. She has been emailed notice of the hearing date and time to her address for service.
The landlord has applied for compensation for expenses incurred in relation to ending the fixed term tenancy early.
This was a fixed term tenancy from 22 August 2024 ending on 20 August 2025.
The landlord says the parties agreed to end the tenancy after the tenant left the premises and did not intend to return.
The landlord readvertised the premises and found new tenants as from 23 October 2024.
If a tenant leaves a fixed term tenancy early, they are usually required to compensate the landlord for the rent they should have paid up until a replacement tenancy starts. This is because the fixed term contract they signed is a binding promise to pay rent until the end of the fixed term.
The landlord provided a rent summary showing the last payment of rent by the tenant was made on 24 September 2024.
The rent summary proves that rent of $1,751.43 is owing up to 22 October 2024 (the day before the new tenancy started). I award this amount.
The landlord also claims expenses incurred in arranging for the fixed term tenancy to end early including advertising costs, credit checks and time incurred by the agent. These are allowed by section 44A Residential Tenancies Act 1986 (RTA). The expenses total $704.50, and I am satisfied they are reasonable in this case.
I award the filing fee of $27.00.
The tenant has authorised the refund of the bond to the landlord. This covers all rent owing and reduces the balance payable by the tenant to $562.93.
The landlord has succeeded in the claim so is entitled to name suppression, which is ordered.
