Filing Fee Rent arrears

Order

An application for suppression has been made in this case, and the Tribunal orders suppression of the Landlord’s name and identifying details.
Tatiana Ahomiro must pay [The landlord/s] $804.57 from the bond, calculated as shown in the table below.
The balance of the bond of $835.43 is to remain at the Bond Centre.

Reasons

The landlord attended the hearing which was held by videoconference. The tenant did not attend and was not able to be contacted on the number specified in the Notice of Hearing, which was served to the e-mail address given by the tenant in the agreement as an address for service. The tenant was not able to be contacted either on the phone number given by her in the agreement.
The landlord has applied for rent arrears, compensation, refund of the bond, and reimbursement of the filing fee following the end of the tenancy.

How much is owed for rent?

The tenancy ended on 1 November after the landlord gave notice of termination because the premises were sold. The landlord provided rent records which prove the amount owing at the end of the tenancy.
The landlord claims $27.00 for the filing fee on a prior application to the Tribunal. Because that application was withdrawn, the landlord has not proved an entitlement to reimbursement of that filing fee and the claim is dismissed.
The landlord also claims a $7.50 admin fee, introduced to cover the property manager’s time in locating incorrectly coded payments. In my view a landlord cannot unilaterally add charges for the tenant to pay, any more than a tenant can unilaterally deduct rent as compensation for time and inconvenience caused by a landlord’s actions. That claim is also declined. Additional Claims
The landlord sought today to have claims for repairs, cleaning and lock replacement considered. Thoe claims were not part of the landlord’s application and no evidence in support of those claims has been provided to the Tribunal. The sums claimed are significant. It is not fair to the tenant to determine claims that she is not aware of because they were not part of the landlord’s application.
Those additional claims and supporting evidence will need to be filed and served through another application before they can be determined.
Because [The applicant/s] has had claims upheld. I must reimburse the filing fee.
