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 Lita Lee Gallego at [Tenancy address suppressed] is terminated, and possession is granted to [The landlord/s] immediately.
Lita Lee Gallego must pay [The landlord/s] $12,377.72 immediately, calculated as shown in the table below:

Reasons

Both parties attended the hearing. This was a continuation hearing after requiring a copy of the tenancy agreement. The adjourning order recorded the tenant’s intention to pay the rent and rent arrears but no payment has been made since.
The landlord has applied for termination of the tenancy, rent arrears and refund of the bond.
I am satisfied this is a residential tenancy in which the Residential Tenancies Act 1986 applies.
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.
I have made the order effective immediately as no rent or rent arrears has been paid since the last hearing and a commitment to do so. It is for the landlord to determine when and how possession is claimed, as necessary.
The landlord provided rent records which prove the amount owing at the end of the tenancy are as ordered.
The landlord also sought water rates of $150.72. This was established by a water summary and evidenced by the invoices. This is awarded in full.
A claim for $23.75 for a replacement lightbulb was made. An invoice supports the replacement cost but I do not have sufficient information to determine if the type of bulb was such that a tenant liability exists. I therefore dismiss that claim. Filing fee
As the landlord has been wholly successful I must return 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party that has wholly or substantially succeeded in proceedings, order that the party’s name or identifying particulars not be published, unless the Tribunal considers that publication is in the public interest or is justified because of the party’s conduct or any other circumstances of the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order that all or part of the evidence given or the name or any identifying particulars of any witness or party not be published.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 requested suppression in its application. As it has been wholly successful, suppression is ordered.
