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

The tenancy of [The tenant/s] at [Tenancy address suppressed] is terminated, and possession is granted to [The landlord/s], at 6.00pm on Thursday 19 December 2024.

The Bond Centre is to pay the bond of $700.00 ([Bond number suppressed]) to [The landlord/s] immediately.

[The tenant/s] must pay [The landlord/s] $5,907.00 immediately, calculated as shown in the table below:

The application for water rates is dismissed.

Reasons

Both parties attended the hearing. The landlord’s attended by video conference and the tenant attended by phone.

The landlord has applied for termination of the tenancy, rent arrears, outgoings and refund of the bond and reimbursement of the filing fee. Termination

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. Rent arrears

The landlord provided rent records which prove the amount owing at the end of the tenancy and I have made an order for rent arrears by consent to the termination date of 19 December 2024. Water rates

The landlord is responsible for all outgoings in respect of the premises that are incurred whether or not the premises are occupied and are incurred for common facilities. See section 39 (1) of the RTA.

The tenant is responsible for all outgoings in respect of the premises that are exclusively attributable to the tenant’s occupation of the premises or to the tenant’s use of the facilities. See section 39 (3) of the RTA.

The tenant is responsible for the supply of water if the water supplier charges for water provided to the premises on the basis of consumption. See section 39 (4) (c) of the RTA.

The landlord applied for water rates however the water rates were not separately metered.

The water rates claimed by the landlord were therefore not exclusively attributable to the tenant’s occupation of the premises.

The tenant has been paying half of the usage charges incurred in respect of the landlord and tenant’s premises which are on the one meter.

I raised this issue with the landlord and by consent I have not made an order for water rates. Power

The tenant is responsible for electricity charges. See Section 39 (4) (a) of the RTA.

The landlord’s arranged for the power account to be in their names. The tenant agreed that she owes the landlord the power charges and I make an order by consent for the amount of $910.00. Bond

The bond is to be paid to the landlord immediately to offset the amounts ordered. Filing fee

Because the landlord has wholly succeeded with the claim, I must reimburse the filing fee. Suppression

As this order is made by consent and having regards to the interests of the parties and the public interest I have made an order suppressing the parties names and identifying details. See section 95A of the Residential Tenancies Act 1986.
