Order

The Tribunal orders suppression of the Tenant name and identifying details.
[The tenant/s] must pay Reforma P.M. Limited As Agent For Stephen & Lisa Cole $141.10 immediately, calculated as shown in table below:

Reasons

The landlord attended the hearing. The tenant is overseas and had requested a call be made to her nominated representative. This was not formalised but, after some discussion, the landlord advised the nominated person was in fact the guarantor. This was confirmed in the tenancy agreement. A call was made and answered.
The issue is relatively minor. The landlord seeks $114.10 for outstanding water rates. The tenant did not attend the initial mediation but the guarantor rightly pointed out that he would have if so notified. The matter more than likely would have been quickly resolved in that forum without the need for this hearing.
The summary provided by the landlord confirms the $114.10 sought and that amount was not disputed by the guarantor.
The guarantor requested the landlord provide the appropriate bank account details and committed to paying that, and the filing fee, immediately. Filing fee
Because Reforma P.M. Limited As Agent For Stephen & Lisa Cole 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party that has wholly or substantially succeeded in proceedings, order that the party’s name or identifying particulars not be published, unless the Tribunal considers that publication is in the public interest or is justified because of the party’s conduct or any other circumstances of the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order that all or part of the evidence given or the name or any identifying particulars of any witness or party not be published.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 did not seek suppression. Given the lack of notification to the guarantor of what was a small, historic amount, and his immediate commitment to paying this, I suppress the tenant’s name from this order. There are no concerns of the landlord other than that raised in this application. If the guarantor had been present at mediation I believe it would have been resolved there and a mediated order made. Such mediated orders are not published and I consider this order akin to one, albeit it I have left the landlord of record public.
