Filing Fee Rent arrears

Order

An application for suppression has been made in this case, and the Tribunal orders suppression of the Landlord name and identifying details.
The tenancy of Kathy Skipper at [Tenancy address suppressed] is terminated, and possession is granted to [The landlord/s] immediately.
Kathy Skipper must pay [The landlord/s] $5,273.21 immediately, calculated as shown in table below:

Reasons

The landlord attended the hearing, conducted via teleconference. Three calls to the tenant went unanswered and to voicemail. After the first call went to voicemail, a brief message was left introducing myself and explaining the purpose of the call. The message concluded with the advice I would try a second time after waiting some minutes. I was satisfied adequate service had completed and I continued with the hearing after the third call also went unanswered.
The landlord has applied for termination of the tenancy, rent arrears and the filing fee.
Rent was at least 21 days in arrears on the date the application was filed. The tenancy is terminated. See section 55(1)(a) Residential Tenancies Act 1986.
The landlord provided rent records which prove the amount owing at the end of the tenancy is as ordered.
The landlord has been active in attempting to contact the tenant. No rent payments have been made since August 2024. This order is made immediate to allow the landlord to ascertain if the tenant is still residing there and take appropriate steps if not. The layout of the property makes such an assessment from outside difficult.
The landlord explained if the tenant is residing and the possession order requires enforcement, no enforcement will occur until 2025. This is due to an internal process that must conclude before any such action commences. Filing fee
Because [The applicant/s] 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party that has wholly or substantially succeeded in proceedings, order that the party’s name or identifying particulars not be published, unless the Tribunal considers that publication is in the public interest or is justified because of the party’s conduct or any other circumstances of the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.
The landlord requested suppression in its application. As it has been wholly successful, suppression is ordered.
